Oregon. If you have never taken the opportunity to attend a summer workshop, I strongly recommend putting effort into this. I would suggest starting with a search from the NSTA website www.NSTA.org and go from there. There are also many opportunities much closer to home, such as the PTRA (Physics Teachers Resource Agent) Workshop to be held at SDSU this July. Contact Dr. Larry Browning at Larry_Browning@sdstate.edu for further info. Happy Searching!!! If you can make it, every SDSTA member reading this newsletter is cordially invited to attend our Summer Meeting, to be held at Sioux Falls Roosevelt HS, August 6, 2004. We will discuss topics current and relevant to science education in South Dakota, such as an update in the progress in turning Homestake Mine into a world class neutrino lab, the latest NCLB news, sharing about what science related activities we did this summer and plans for the 2005 SDSTA/SDCTM February Conference. Please e-mail me with any questions or to RSVP……hey; it's free! Until next time; enjoy these last few weeks of school and hooray for Spring……

quet Speaker Ron Dyvig amazed us with the possibilities technology has opened up to the students of South Dakota through his "Dark Skies, Bright Minds" Program. Any educator teaching astronomy should consider contacting Ron at the Badlands Observatory in Quinn, SD regarding this incredible opportunity to participate in cutting edge astronomical research via the internet! We welcome aboard Micheline Hickenbotham of BHSU, the new President-Elect from 2004 until she takes over in February 2006. My seniors at Rapid City Central High School have recently informed me that the school year is over 2/3 finished. Do you suppose they are getting emotional about leaving us for future educational challenges…or just ready for summer? Either way, it's time for us to look for ways to both rejuvenate and reward us as teachers this summer. If you have ever participated in a summer workshop you know the benefits (professional and monetary) that accompany your efforts in this regard. Since our children were little, my wife Marcy and I have attended and presented workshops from Vermont, New York, Virginia, Montana and
