As I write this I can't believe that one fourth of the school year has already passed! KMEA Leadership is working diligently to prepare the 2015 In-Service Workshop for Kansas Music Educators.

I am very excited to share that we have an amazing lineup of Elementary Clinicians and Concerts for this year's In-Service Workshop. Roger Sams, Jill Trinka, Martha Riley, and Lynn Kleiner all plan to present workshops. Holly Taylor will be leading the Elementary Choral Reading session on Saturday morning. We have three concerts in the elementary room provided by Blessed Sacrament Elementary in Wichita, OK Elementary School in Wichita, and Sunflower Elementary in Lawrence.

Please make your plans now to attend the In-Service Workshop. I wish each of you a wonderful winter season, and I will see you in February! It is an honor to serve as your Elementary Chair this year. As always, do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
