Winter Tea

Dr. Bess Scott and Dr. Marilyn Moore gave a wonderful presentation about their trip to China in June as part of the University's Confucius Institute. The slide show was interesting and full of information. A general LPSAOP meeting followed.

The presentation and general meeting qualified for 2 hours of Staff Development for those that attended. Thanks to the committee for setting this up.

PSP Workshop

Everyone is welcome to attend any PSP workshop-no matter where you are in your journey. Even if you really are apprehensive about starting off, I encourage you to attend a workshop to just learn about the process, after all knowledge is power!

Whether you are working on your application, need help counting up hours for your recertification, or just want to come and learn about the program and get started, help will be available! Please RSVP to Nancy Harter if you plan to attend the next PSP workshop! We appreciate you letting us know your intentions so we can distribute committee members to help everyone.

LPSAOP Recognition and Awards

The “Leading the Way” Award is to honor and recognize an LPSAOP member who demonstrates leadership skills and the willingness to go “above and beyond.” The award seeks to recognize an LPSAOP member who enthusiastically faces challenges, enjoys supporting the education of our youth and promotes professional development for themselves and their co-workers.

The Office Professional of the Year Award recognizes a LPSAOP member who has demonstrated outstanding performance while employed with LPS. This person will be one that is actively involved in the LPSAOP association and has made significant contribution in their educational position(s) within LPS.

Secret Friends

What a great way to get to know LPSAOP members! Secret Friends is an activity that has been enjoyed by countless members for many years. The fun is in the giving and receiving of small gifts/momentos throughout the school year. Secret Friends will be revealed in the Spring of 2011. Last year, I had everyone over to my house for a light meal so we could focus on Secret Friends. Everyone enjoyed the more personal atmosphere so I am planning to repeat for this year. Remember: no single gift over $7.50. For more information, please contact Dawn. Click on Secret Friends to sign up.
