WOOOHOO!!

Great news! We have been awarded a Sparkplug Foundation grant (see www.sparkplugfoundation.org) for TeacherSPACE!!! With the funds, we can host several workshops over the year, as well as push forward on cataloging our projects and ideas into a working curriculum resource library. We are looking forward to the great programming and resources we will be able to share with each other.

Also, we've made a schedule of days that TeacherSPACE will be open over the summer for various activities. Below is a detailed version of the schedule. A summary of the open dates is also on the side bar.

Drop off/Set up dates (when people can come by with donations, help catalog things and set up the space)

And coming in the future....
Fall Open-Houses: Wednesday evenings, 4-8pm starting Sept. 5th.
Each time will have a “theme” i.e. art teachers, science etc, but will be open to all who want to visit, schmooze, and collaborate/talk with other teachers.
We’ll also have PTLC meetings there about once a month or so.
