Spring—the season of hope and rebirth—is almost upon us.
We hope you enjoyed your two days of professional learning and networking with colleagues at our first in-person Teachers’ Convention in three years. It was good to be together again!
Our focus from March 13-16th will be on voting for our ATA’s Provincial Executive Council. We have two of our own Edmonton Catholic teachers running: Greg Carbine for ATA Vice President and Darrin Bauer for District Representative. Since voting takes place online, you’ll need to access your ATA account through www.teachers.ab.ca. We encourage you to have a voice and vote. It only takes a few minutes. Voting closes at 5pm on March 16th.
As you know, there’s talk of an Alberta provincial election toward the end of May. We need to make education a priority! Join the campaign at www.standforeducation.ca.
It’s hard to believe that Spring Break is just around the corner. Enjoy the week and the time it gives us to rejuvenate prior to the final push to the end of the year.
Keep the faith,
Ron Zacharko
President, ECT Local #54
