The past two weeks have been filled with excitement (as usual).  I  
attended and presented a session at the Maine Middle Level Institute  
which 3 arts educators attended.  I was honored to attend and  
participate in the first induction ceremony of the Brunswick High  
School Tr-M Music Honor Society.  I traveled to Wells for the New  
England Assessment Network meeting and met with my colleagues from  
other states.  And the highlight was "A Single Bracelet Does Not  
Jingle" conference on November 1st at Point Lookout.  Pictures and  
information in the newsletter.  If you were unable to attend, the next  
steps will be regional meetings.  Please be sure and read the future  
newsletters for the details.

Important info: The stakeholders group, appointed by the legislative  
education committee, has been meeting since early September working on  
recommendations for high school graduation requirements.  If you'd  
like to know the details please communicate with the leadership of  
your professional organizations.

Art in the Heart is meeting Nov.19th, University of Maine Museum of  
Art, Bangor, 4:30.

Please note: During November 24 though December 3 I will be away from  
the office  spending some much needed time with my family.    
Therefore, I will not be answering email or returning phone messages.

Thank you for the important work you do each day for arts education.   
I know you many of you have crazy, busy schedules and I appreciate  
what you do!

Make it a great day,
Argy
