Ronetta states, "To be one of 13 recipients around the world was a humbling experience. The teachers awarded were from Canada, USA, Colombia, Turkey, Germany, Poland, Japan, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Taiwan, and Vietnam." Ronetta teaches Spanish at Washington High School. Submitted by Sue Weber

 Your issue of Collegial Exchange should be in your mailbox soon - and yes, it's a busy season, but don't miss another great article by Karen Kinney, Alpha Zeta (pp 19-20)as well as a copy of the Keynote Address by Cathy Daugherty at the Arts & Humanities International Conference last summer and thoughts from Dr. Judy Merz, 2019 International Achievement Award Winner - among many others. Quite honestly, when the idea of a magazine aimed at practicing educators was first broached, as a retired educator I wasn't very excited. Wow, was I ever wrong! The articles selected for each issue are not only relevant for active teachers, they are just as inspiring for members no longer in the classroom. Don't miss it!
If you'd prefer, you can read it online as a flip book (http://magazine.dkg.org/2019/86-2/) once you've signed in, or download it as a .pdf. If you're inspired to do so, submissions for the next issue are due December 15. Sharing craft ideas was only part of the fun at FAR 2019! Stretching breaks; poetry ideas; the Rose Store; and good food were all on the agenda. The next FAR will be fall of 2021 - watch for details!
