Send SMAS Student Leaders to AAACE Conference

AAACE is the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education organization.

This Fall, November 8 to 11, AAACE will have a National Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  People will come from all over the United States to talk about Adult Education.  They will talk about why it matters.  They will talk about how to make it the best possible education for Adults.

Three San Mateo Adult School Student Leaders submitted a proposal to present a workshop about Student Council at the Conference.


SMAS Student Leaders

The three leaders are:


Cristina Munoz Ulrich

Marina Kravtsova

Denise Carrasco

Denise Carrasco - 2015/16 Day Student Council President

Cristina Munoz Ulrich - 2015/16 Day Student Council Vice President

Marina Kravtsova - Student Council Advocate in 2014/15.

Now Marina is our English Learner Specialist and the Advisor to Student Council.  She is not a student anymore.  She is part of the SMAS staff.  At the Conference, she will share from both her student and her staff experience.

These three leaders applied to present a workshop.




SMAS Leaders Going to Conference

Their proposal to talk about Student Council was accepted.

Not many Adult Schools have Student Councils or active student communities.  SMAS is a leader in this area.  AAACE wants other schools to learn about our programs.  Our leaders will explain how we do it.  Other schools can learn from us and create student councils and build active student communities at their school.

Other people will present workshops on other topics.  Our leaders can learn from them and bring back new ideas to help our school.  It is a interchange of information to make Adult Education the best it can be at our school and everywhere across the USA.


Fundraising

It will cost money for the leaders to go to this conference.

The Teachers' Union voted to give them 600 dollars.

The cost is higher than 600 dollars!

To raise money to go to the conference, they will be selling pizza meals - a slice of pizza, a cold drink, and a cookie for five dollars.  What a great deal!
