It was great kicking off the United Conference with keynote speaker Jon Gordon. He had a uplifting message as we look toward another school year. “We don’t get burned out because of what we do, we get burned out because we forget why we do it. “ #principalsUNITED #sdaesp

The SDAESP board had an amazing time at Granite Springs Lodge in Alexandria for a quick yet productive joint retreat with the SDASSP board. It was an excellent opportunity to collaborate and connect. Special thanks to Rob Monson and Dr. Rick Melmer for leading our PD.
