2017 AESN/NOII Northwest Regional Year End Celebration

The annual AESN/NOII Northwest Regional Year End Celebration was inspirational, informative and downright cute. We would like to thank our keynote speakers Louisa Smith, Jo Chrona, Lina Kaser and Judy Halbert for their perspective on Truth and Reconciliation. We would also like to thank all of the inquiry teams for using the Spirals of Inquiry to find innovative ways to improve the educational experiences for all of our learners. Finally, a big shout out to the Lax Kxeen student drummers who captivated the crowd with their songs. What a great event! We look forward to a new year of Inquiry and hope that more and more of our colleagues will join the network and share their dedication to our students.
