__December 2, 2011: Our first official meeting/planning day __ Our KTOY team had our first official meeting today in Wichita, KS. It was great to sit down together and talk about the educational issues that we are each most enthusiastic about, and to plan the messages that we'd like to share with other educators this year. We are looking forward to being able to encourage preservice teachers as we travel around the state. We were able to plan not only the messages that we feel are most important to share with others in the field of education, but also what we'd like to share with legislators next month.

(And we had an amazing lunch at Cafe Moderne - thanks, Chris, for arranging our fabulous food break!)
