Happy Thursday LFNTX!

What a year! We made it!!! Next Friday, the 14th is our last LFNTX of the year and Richardson is hosting. We are all ZOOMED out, so we thought it would be nice for us to come together and just relax, get out of the office, and away from our computers for a bit.

If you are comfortable, we would like to invite to CityLine where we can chat PL, catch up, and grab lunch. There are several places around CityLine, as well as, where we will be. There are plenty of outdoor spots and the weather will be perfect. We will be there from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., so stop by if you can.

We will be out in front of the Aloft Richardson which is located at 1160 State Street, Richardson, TX 75082.

Here is the website to check out the dining. Some dining is located across the street, but within walking distance.

Hope to see you there, but we totally get if you are not ready to meet F2F yet! I will be sending out the link to sign up to host next year, so please consider hosting!

Happy Thursday!

This is just a reminder that we will meet tomorrow from 9-11 if you can make it!

Keller ISD will start us off and share their process for facilitating their OnDemand PD website. They would love to collaborative and idea share about how we can bring teachers in all of our districts together to enjoy on demand professional learning opportunities at their fingertips.

After that we will have some time to go into breakout rooms and discuss a few topics.

Zoom info below. We hope to see you there!
