PRESIDENT’S PEN
Whew! I hope you all had a nice little bit of a break over the Christmas holiday. Now is the time of year most of us are making sure our students are prepared for Student Day. If you have never participated in Student Day, you are welcome to come and help out–it’s a great way to see how it all works!

We have lots of great programs planned for the remainder of the year; be sure and join us!

-Lorraine Eaton, JMTA President
