She will be discussing important issues that may come up for you in your teaching career, regarding students who have faced abuse and neglect. Ms. Dixon will give a presentation, as well as answer questions about these topics.
Seeking Volunteers!
This fall's Education Career Fair will be Wednesday, November 5, from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Kansas Union. SESO is seeking volunteers to help escort superintendents to their assigned tables and help them carry in materials. This is a great way to meet superintendents from school districts where you may be teaching in the future!

Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS)
A message from one of the MOPS coordinators:
MOPS is a great program that caters to the needs
of mothers with children 0-6 years old. We hold meetings twice a month to
feed our minds spiritually, emotionally, and to....well, get a break from
our children!
That's where you come in!! We need great volunteers, like you, to help care
for our children during our meetings. We ask for volunteers who are willing
to lovingly care and get down on the floor and play with our children. (How
easy is that?!)
Our MOPS group meets at the Lawrence Free Methodist Church from 9:00 a.m. to
11:30 am the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month. Volunteers need to be
available from 8:45 to 11:45. We are grateful for volunteers to commit for
the entire school year, one semester, one month, or even as a substitute.
This program has meant a great deal to me as a new mother and we've been so
fortunate to have fabulous volunteers in the past who my daughter enjoyed
spending time with while I was down the hall networking and learning. The
kids have a great time playing, singing, making crafts, learning a short
bible based lesson, and eating snacks. The moms bring special goodies for
the volunteers to enjoy and I see lots of smiles from everyone! I hope to
get to know some more future teachers this next year. I know they'd enjoy
spending time with us.
The MOPS is hiring for a lead teacher position in their 4-5 yr old room. It is a paid position Tuesday mornings the 1st and 3rd of the month from 8:45-11:45. The lesson is previously prepared by the MOPS curriculum coordinator and the lead teacher's responsibility is strictly executing the lesson with the assistance of other volunteers. Please contact Lori Lee at kevinlorilee@gmail.com
SESO will no longer hold monthly meetings, but will have a special meeting one time per semester. These meetings will be announced on the website and list-serv.
