Lots of Positive Changes Happening to Oregon SHAPE
Hello everyone, as the incoming president I am very excited about all the amazing things that are happening in Oregon SHAPE. It is my priority to communicate with you all the great things we are doing as an organization in a variety of ways. With that, I am very pleased to announce that we now have a brand new website called Oregonshape.org. We will use oregonshape.org as one of the main ways to communicate with our members. I will let everyone know as soon as it is launched.
I also wanted to share that we now have a Twitter handle (@oregonshape) and are transitioning from a group to a page on Facebook (facebok.com/oregonshape). This will make it easier for you, as well as others, to connect with Oregon SHAPE. Make sure to follow and like us to get connected and keep up to date on information regarding the conference, teacher resources and advocacy.
Thanks, and I look forward to serving our organization.
