Future Dates

Hi TAPT-ers,

Here’s some future dates and news. Thanks to everyone who attended last week. We had a nice party with Jim and Karen Housley.  Our cat eventually returned after three hours in the wild. 

Future Dates:

March 7:TAPT meets, J.D. is working on a speaker

March 15: Physics Fun Night at the U of A - they are hoping for a good turnout, it’s a great extra credit opportunity for your physics classes. This is Sunday at the end of the Tucson Festival of Books.

April 18: AzAAPT meeting, maybe in the northern regions, or possibly at ASU. More info to follow.

Early May - end-of-the year TAPT party TBA. 

There are several physics and chemistry jobs open for next year: University is hiring for all physics, tusd jobs. I was told that Tucson High may also be hiring for physics. In addition, there is a chemistry opening at The Gregory School, https://www.gregoryschool.org/about/jobs, and Sahuaro High School has openings in Chemistry and STEM, according to Jorge, though I didn’t find an ad online. If you have questions you could contact Jorge at Jorge.romero@tusd1.org.

Hope to see everyone March 7th. 

Best,

Karie

Two Events this Saturday

Hi TAPT-ers,

I'd like to invite everyone for dinner on Saturday night, as well as our regular morning meeting this coming Saturday, February 8th. I know people don't read email all the way through, so please note there are TWO events, and you may attend either or both. Here are the details:

We meet Saturday morning for our regular meeting, but there's been a change of venue. We'll meet at the U of A PAS building, room 218, at 9:00 am. I'll send a parking map later in the week. I'll bring coffee, please bring a breakfast dish to share if you can, if not come anyway, food isn't the central point. Our guest is Jim Housley from Alaska, equipment maker and former physics teacher. This is our regular equipment meeting, so bring anything you want to share, or any ideas you have about things you need in your classroom. We aim to end this meeting by 11:00.

I will be hosting a dinner for Jim and his wife Karen at my house. It will be a bit early, so hopefully fits in with your plans - come for dinner or just to say hi. Also,  I retired, so please come help me celebrate. We will start at 4:30, dinner 5:30-ish, and I'll be cooking, or maybe my husband Chris will grill. If you like, you could bring a dessert or drink to share, but please don't feel obligated - we will have plenty of both food and drink. So: Dinner with Jim and Karen Housley, Saturday, February 8th, 5:00 pm, [Karie's house]. Families, significant others, and babies all invited and welcome! Please send me a quick RSVP if you plan to come so I can have an approximate food idea. Hope to see you there!

Best,

Karie
