TEPSA conference

I have spent the last few days in Austin at the TEPSA conference.  It was such a blast.  I love getting together with my fellow Texas principals.  As soon as I checked into the hotel I ran into Cristi Parsons!  I couldn't help myself but I had to take a selfie with her.  Mrs. Parsons is the 2013 National Distinguished Principal Winner.  She represented Texas this school year.  I had the opportunity to go to one of her sessions No More Band-Aids...Transform the Early Years!  I loved it and learned so much from her.

Below is a picture I snapped from the conference catalog.  

At the reception, I was seated next to Alma.  Alma is one of the top 10 finalists too.  She is a principal in Georgetown ISD.

 A fabulous ending...I got to go up on stage and was honored with a congratulations from Cristi.  I received some fabulous gifts that night and had so many pictures made.

I took another selfie with Kimmie Etheredge.  She is the 2014 National Distinguished Principal and will represent all Texas Principals this year.  She gave such a powerful message at the opening ceremony.

I enjoyed all my sessions and loved getting to talk to other principals.  I came back inspired and loaded with new ideas for the 2014 school year.

Now that all the fun and glamour is over...it's time to clean house and do the laundry. :(
I hope you enjoyed the pictures.  Have a great weekend.
