Dr. Oz Supports American Education Week

(L to R: Monique McNair, Deborah, Johnson, and me with Dr. Oz)

Last week (November 11-17) was American Education Week, which is dedicated to celebrating the contributions of parents, education support professionals, and substitute teachers. To commemorate the week, The Dr. Oz Show taped a segment on ways to cheat to improve your health, wherein teachers battled to win bragging rights as “Health Cheats.” 

Plainfield Education Association members Monique McNair, Deborah Johnson and I represented a team from Plainfield High School, facing off against a team of wonderful educators representing Manhattan's Hunter College Elementary School. We taped the show last Wednesday at Dr. Oz's studio in New York, and I am happy to report that...WE WON! The show will air in December--I will let you know the air date!

Hurricane Sandy Relief Information

Last week was our first week back to school after Hurricane Sandy.  It was good to be back and to be able to check in with everyone. Please contact the Plainfield Education Association office with any concerns you may have as a result of our closure.

 

Many of our Plainfield Education Association members still face significant challenges personally as we return to our professional lives. Let’s take care of each other. In response to the unprecedented devastation caused by this catastrophic storm, the NJEA has created the NJEA Hurricane Sandy Back to School Fund. Go to:
