Science Tidbit May Spotlight
Merrill Davis, Fair Park Middle School
Ms. Davis has been teaching children for over 35 years. Ms. Davis is very special to the students at Fair Park Middle School because she goes the extra mile to ensure that each child learns science through fun and engaging practices.
Ms. Davis also loves working with her fellow science teacher. She shares her resources with anyone who needs them while she continues to learn through professional development opportunities both in and out of Caddo Parish.
Ms. Davis has a passion for teaching children and it shows through her work ethic and positive demeanour. We are very fortunate to have Ms. Davis on our Caddo science team! Thank you for all you do for each of us Ms. Davis!!

Don't Forget Your Complimentary LSTA Membership
Good News!
In an effort to support teachers of science this year during the implementation of the revised LSSS, LSTA is extending a complimentary membership to ALL Louisiana teachers of science, administrators, and informal educators until October 24, 2018.
All you need to do is complete and send in a membership form!! Contact your regional representative or download a form from our LSTA web site!
And more good news for current members. While the LSTA Board is celebrating with the 1000 + Louisiana science teachers who attended the NSTA Area Conference in New Orleans, the board acknowledges the high cost of a national event. As a result, the Board has approved extending membership expiration dates from November of 2017 to November 2018.
