Message from Aaron Hansen

Hi everyone.  I was recently asked to be the mentor chairperson for Northeast Iowa for IMEA.  My job is to set up a mentor for each first year general music teacher in our district.  I am looking for mentors who can be a resource for these new teachers and possibly even visit them sometime.  There is grant money that is becoming available to allow mentors to visit their new colleagues at their schools.  This will also serve our chapter as we can get these new people to workshops!! If you would be willing to serve as a mentor please email ataaron.hansen@wsr.k12.ia.us .  Mentors are so important to these new folks.  Please consider it if someone is close in proximity to your school.  Below is the list of new teachers.  Thanks!  Aaron
