Welcome to all of our new awardees!!!
March 3, 2022
Congratulations on your well-deserved award of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. As a PAEMST winner myself I remember the feeling of walking on air when I heard my name announced way back in 2000. It was so very exciting!
You will have so many doors open to you at the local, state, and national level. Your leadership journey has just begun.
I am currently President of an organization that would like to partner with you on that journey. The Society of Elementary Presidential Awardees is an organization open only to elementary awardees in both mathematics and science. We would like to invite you to be part of our organization. The organization was chartered in 1991 and the mission has grown and changed as dictated by the world in which we live. Our job as educators and leaders in science and mathematics is to advocate for, and provide, quality science and/or mathematics instruction to all students.
As documented in our mission statement, SEPA strives to
As a member of SEPA you will be offered the opportunity to engage with the annual NSTA Outstanding Science Books. This opportunity gives you one or two free science trade books in exchange for you developing a lesson connected to best practices in science, and or mathematics aligned with SEPA’s vision as described above.
You will have the opportunity to network with other Presidential Awardees both in person and through our Facebook group. In the past, SEPA has held a luncheon at the National Science Teaching Association Conference with a well respected speaker, opportunity to network with other outstanding educators, and possibly win fabulous door prizes!
You will be offered the opportunity to engage in professional learning through book studies, webinars and more.
As you have been officially announced as 2020 Presidential Awardee in either science or mathematics, we invite you to join us. We are giving you a first year’s membership in SEPA with a renewal reasonable cost of $25 per membership year thereafter. Please take the time to complete a very brief survey to help the organization better serve you.
We hope to see you soon at one of our virtual events.
Once again, congratulations to you for achieving the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Teaching.
Sincerely,
Kathy Renfrew
President of Society of Elementary Presidential Awardees
