AASG!

Much fun was had by all, even during our abbreviated visit to the fall AASG convention, the first held in Bethel in 19 years. It was crazy and hectic, and a little bit intimidating for our kids, but they pulled themselves through with distinction. I was especially proud of their activity responding to a proposal that would have reduced or eliminated small school voice in elections to the executive board. They were very busy in rounding up support in opposition to the proposal from the other small schools at the convention. The proposal was defeated twice. Small schools have a voice in picking their leadership that is undiminished. In fact, the first association president from this area was elected on Saturday. As we drove to the airport on the way home, the same kids who were not so sure about going on Friday were regretful that the experience was not going to last longer.
