Hey everyone! Hopefully the end of the semester finds you all looking forward to the nice month-long break coming up but hopefully not too stressed over finals coming up! I just want to take a minute to introduce myself to those of you I haven't had the chance to meet yet. My name's Jessica Callahan and I'm the new president of the Student Program of SDEA. I'm very grateful to have worked with the past presidents, Michael Anderson (DSU) and Jason Whiting (Augie) and after those two, I've definitely got some big shoes to fill! I look forward to working with everyone across the state and am SO excited to be part of such an awesome organization like SDEA!
Please feel free to contact myself or the SDEA-SP Secretary, Jennifer VanPelt (DWU) and feel free to utilize both of us as tools to do whatever we can to help you and your chapters out! Feel free to contact me via email at Jess.Callahan@usd.edu. I look forward to hearing from you!!!
Happy finals & happy studies!
Jessica

SDEA State RA
Well, Jason Whiting (your student Vice President) and I traveled to Pierre last Thursday where we were welcomed with open arms, and a delicious supper for the SDEA Board Meeting. It was great to see our SDEA leaders in action! The meeting went pretty late into the night before it was recessed to the next morning at 8 am which Jason and I showed up at 7:15, because if your not early...you're late! Colleen MCintosh (Auggie), Jennifer Van Pelt (DWU), and Jessica Callahan (USD) joined us Friday night for the beginning of the RA. We were surrounded by 94 teachers from all over the state of SD, and if you have never been to the state RA, I suggest you go and see the energy and excitement that the teachers in attendance have for our profession. We had an extremely successful RA, as we passed a new bylaw allowing students to have multiple year membership dues. Starting in 2009-2010, students can sign up for multiple years and receive a discounted rate. If you have any freshman or sophomore friends yet to join, make sure you let them know about this great opportunity.
I am so thankful that we had most of the active schools represented at the RA, thank you to all of the students that joined us. The value of your SDEA membership certainly increases exponentially the more you immerse yourself in the program.
Whats the difference between a lamp and an elephant?
Be Thankful,
