In Your Neighborhood: ATPE Stories from Your Communities

Region 9 ATPE

The temperatures are dropping, and the thought of a warm beverage is starting to sound better and better every day! That’s what’s on the mind of Region 9 ATPE, at least! The region hosted a come-and-go event at Collective Coffee in Wichita Falls where potential new members with interest in joining ATPE could learn more about the association and meet some current members—with the bonus of a free beverage. What an awesome way to warm up fellow educators’ hearts—and stomachs—to ATPE!

Amarillo ATPE

Aloha from Amarillo, Texas! At this year’s new-teacher orientation, Amarillo ATPE members turned their table into a tropical wonderland. The members dressed up in Hawaiian-style shirts and even had a backdrop with the phrase, “Catch the wave, join ATPE today!” Great work, Amarillo ATPE, and way to be creative!

Mesquite ATPE

As an American educator, voting is one of the greatest privileges you hold. Mesquite ATPE recognized this importance and decided to come together to encourage others to register to vote. With the help of Mesquite Mayor Bruce Archer, Mesquite ATPE officers canvassed the town helping people register for the next election.

Tyler ATPE

In ATPE, you don’t need artistic skills like Pablo Picasso to be valued! Tyler ATPE hosted its fall meeting at a painting facility where members shared the latest ATPE information and then created their own masterpieces in a stepby-step painting class with fellow Tyler ATPE members. The event was relaxing, and it was a great way for members to mingle and bond while showing off their skills. Awesome job, Tyler ATPE!
