PA SADD BLOG

It has come to our attention that many (if not all) school districts block access to social networking sites, such as blogs, from use through the school's internet system.  We will continue to keep the SADD blog up and running for a little while yet until we find another venue to reach out to our valued advisors and to lend our virtual support. 

We encourage you to visit the blog at your convenience through means other than your school's internet provider.  You may find it to be a useful tool to enhance your SADD efforts.
 
 
SADD CHAPTER SITE VISITS
 
meeting peopleLET'S TALK

The PA SADD office is always available to come to your school, meet with you/your chapter to discuss ways in which we can better serve you. 
 
It's a good chance for some quality one-on-one time that will allow you to tell us what your goals are and how we can help you achieve them. 
 
A few site visits have already been conducted, and they have each been extremely rewarding for both sides of the table.  The opportunity for you to share your ideas, tell us about your successess/failures, the sharing of ideas, and discussion on how to overcome specific obstacles has been eye-opening to say the least!
 
If you're interested in a site visit, please email or phone Barb Zortman (contact information listed at the bottom of this e-news).  
SADD TOOLBOX
 
tool peopleTOOLS OF THE TRADE

In our ongoing effort to provide you with the best possible technical assistance, we are now supplying you with a new tool for your SADD "toolbox".... a document complete with all of our presenter's materials from the 2009 PA SADD Conferences.
 
Many of our SADD Chapters were unable to attend the conference, therefore they missed out on a myriad of good ideas and helpful trainings.  And, for those that did attend, not everyone could make it to every workshop, so, we're bringing the workshops to you!
 
Click on the link below to download your copy of the "Tools For Your SADD Toolbox."  If you have a spare moment down the road, let us know if you were able to implement any of the programs, activities, etc.  Your feedback is always welcome and very valuable to us.
