ANNUAL EDUCATOR’S CONFERENCE
2025 Event: Be the Difference
2024’s PROGRAM
We gathered together at Faith Promise Church and were United! with Gerry Brooks! Thank you to everyone who attended. We hope you had a wonderful time and felt appreciated, inspired, and challenged!
Oh what a night of inspiration, connection, and community we had at Faith Promise Church on November 14! Lori Tucker hosted the evening with her special spark of humor and grace. Gerry Brooks brought a POWERFUL message focused on how to maintain student dignity and support your colleagues. Amy Crawford shared her personal story of how “Goldie” the battle-pup helped her family through a difficult time, and she challenged the audience to look around and give their battle-pup to someone who is facing a battle of their own because nobody should battle alone. The Primary Players shared a preview of their new show to be performed at the Clayton Center in February. Faith Promise Church provided warm hospitality to everyone in attendance.
