 A joint fall workshop between the Elementary/General Division and the Alabama Chapter of AOSA will be held again this year to better serve the members of both organizations. This year’s Festival clinician, Susan Ramsay, will share some of her fabulous ideas for the elementary classroom. The workshop will be held on Saturday, October 11 from 9:00-3:00 at Greystone Elementary School in Hoover.

The AMEA In-Service will be held January 22-24. The Elementary/General Division is excited to have Jim Solomon return to Alabama with some fresh ideas for including hand drums and recorders in the elementary classroom. He will also be facilitating a nighttime drumming session for teachers. You won’t want to miss the great line-up of sessions found at this year’s Conference!

We are currently in need of a hospitality chairman, since Kelly Hollingsworth has graciously taken over duties as co-chairman of District 5. The hospitality chairman is responsible for organizing snacks and lunch for workshops. We will also be electing new officers in the coming year. If you are interested in serving our Division in a leadership capacity, please e-mail me at sara@music.org.
