=//**Hello Desert Sage Elementary School! Welcome to Making the PYP Happen!**//=

=
We are thrilled to be involved with your team as you set forth on this exciting PYP journey. We will be using this wiki-space as a sharing and resource forum before and throughout the workshop. We hope you will find this a useful tool. ======

=__Pre-Workshop Tasks:__= As you know, Desert Sage Elementary School has planned for a two-day workshop on August 8th and 9th. In order to meet the required 15 hours for an authorized IBNA workshop, we must ask that participants complete 3 hours of engagement with content from the workshop before we meet. The remaining 12 hours will take place during our scheduled time together. Should you have any questions along the way, please don’t hesitate to contact your workshop leaders Cheryl Babin (cbabinrace@gmail.com) or Carmen Binns for clarification.

Thanks for taking the time from your families and summer days to prepare for our workshop in this way. We hope these tasks will help to provide you with a solid basis from which we can grow.
