President's Message

Dear FAEA Family,

Happy June! As we embrace the arrival of summer, I wanted to take a moment to share some exciting updates and reminders with you all.

Now that summer break is officially here, I want to congratulate each and every one of you for making it through another successful school year. Take this time to rest, recharge, and rejuvenate after all your hard work. And speaking of celebrations, if you or someone you know has a birthday in June, be sure to let us know so we can celebrate you on our Facebook and Instagram accounts!

As we head into the summer months, I want to emphasize the importance of self-care. It's essential to take care of ourselves mentally, physically, and emotionally, especially during this busy time of year. Consider using our Summer Professional Development in St. Pete, FL, as part of your rejuvenation process. Not only will you have the opportunity to expand your skills and knowledge, but you'll also have the chance to connect with fellow educators, get the lay of the land for conference and recharge your batteries for the upcoming school year. If you stop in, let me know. I’d love to see you!

Thank you all for your continued dedication to FAEA and the field of visual arts education. Wishing you all a restful and rejuvenating summer break!

TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER!

Warm regards,

Latonya Hicks

FAEA President
