December 1998, Lexington, Kentucky

Teacher Partners and administrators from across the six ARSI states met in Lexington for sessions focusing on leadership and instructional skills.
 

MU and OU Teacher Partners and friends gathered the night before to catch up and discuss the conference.

The meeting turned into an early surprise birthday party for the MU Director.
As participants gathered, old friendships were quickly re-established.
This meeting provided Teacher Partners and Administrators time to discuss school and district needs.
The gathering time also gave some a chance to relax after a long drive to Lexington.
