Unfortunately, I did not see this seminar that you were offering on March 20 before. Will you be offering another in the very near future? As an aspiring administrator, I would be interested in attending.

I was hopeful that you are still taking part in 1:1 interview coaching. I have sat with you in the past and was looking to capitalize on your expertise once again. If so could you please email me at jimbosupt@yahoo.com.
Respectfully
Glad to be in your group...looking forward to future workshops and learning from my colleagues.
Dr. Aronstein,
I look forward to your presentation tomorrow. I have been in education for 26 years and a new principal for the last two years. I want to know what I will be when I grow up??
Hopefully, the weather cooperates.
