One of our members, Barbie Starr, shared happenings from her classroom with us this week! Do you have something exciting happening in your classroom that you got from a MBEA conference you would like to share?!?! Please message us and we will share it out!

I attended the annual meeting two years ago and did this session. It was awesome!! This year instead of our seniors doing the ASVAB test they had to attend three sessions about financial things. One of them was the budget simulation. I can not say enough how grateful I am for MBEA and the trainings you provide!!!
