As our local NCRSP unit gathered at Table on the Green for our end-of-year meeting, President Sandi Keyser and VB Catherine Sigmon-Mitchell go over details of the agenda.
You can always count on Sandi to come up with some
high appeal door prizes and recognitions for her
valuable team of helpers.
In our pre-meeting mingle, we greet our guest speakers.
Dr. Terry Mitchell is our outgoing state president.
Joan Bass is our incoming president for 2016-2018.
Our business meeting included final committee reports.
Vivian Kelly led in a meaningful memorial service.
Sadie Small reported that our scholarship is not yet
awarded but a candidate is forthcoming.
Dr. Mitchell and Joan Bass both spoke fervently of
the ongoing crisis in North Carolina education. It goes
far beyond educator salaries and benefits; it is about a
concerted attack on the very fabric of public education
and an agenda which is starving a once-vibrant system.
Members were urged to stay informed and to become
more involved as advocates, for the good of children,
families, and educational professionals, all of whom
are suffering under present policies.
A top priority is to elect Roy Cooper, Josh Stein, and
Dan Blue III as governor, attorney general, and
treasurer, respectively.
If you are not yet a member of Moore County's NCRSP,
make plans to get involved in the fall. We'll be looking for you!
