<a href="http://www.nndb.com/people/655/000180115/jay-nixon-2-sized.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.nndb.com/people/655/000180115/jay-nixon-2-sized.jpg" /></a>Just updated: Govenor Nixon is suggesting a ZERO budget for the Academies in 2016. Here is what I heard:<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">From Ben Martin: Executive Director of MAAE:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"> This will take a full court press to get funding back for the
Academies. We hope to follow up with further information in the coming days. If
you can, start making plans to be in Jefferson City for Citizens' Day for the
Arts on Feb. 11th or Fine Arts Education Day on March 11th. Those days will be
vital to our efforts to revive the Academies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br />Ben Martin, Executive Director<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
From Kyna Iman:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br />. Governor Nixon has not
only shut down our biggest increase ever to the Academies by withholding
funding for the June, 2015, Missouri Scholars Academy and the Missouri Fine
Arts Academy, but he has zeroed out our funding for the June, 2016, academies.</span><br />

<br />
Five fabulous students testified in support of the academies' funding on
Tuesday, before the Senate Appropriations Committee. Senator Schaefer has gone
above and beyond to support our cause.<br />
<br />
Please let your State Representative and State Senator know how important these
funds are to your students/programs/etc.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">From Fred Mintert: Personally, I think this is a big mistake. My son Brody went to the FA Academy in Springfield at MSU and LOOOOVVVEED it! It still costs the participants money, but with zero funding from the state, these will </span>disappear<span style="font-size: 12pt;">.</span></span><br />

I love Pinterest. I gather, catalog, review and connect lesson ideas there. Usually I just am working on adding things for my classroom. I need to remember to also post things to the MAEA Middle level Pinterest Board.<br />
<br />

Full Disclosure: I am writing something because I need to have a blog to represent the hundreds of Middle Level Art Educators that cross our wonderful state of Missouri. Hi, I'm Fred, the Middle Level Rep for MAEA. If you don't know what MAEA is, you might be lost. If you wanna find out, click <a href="http://www.maea.net/">here.</a> <br />
But the truth is, I'm not sure what to post? What makes Middle Level art teachers want to look at a blog? Here's what I think, and based on that, I will make posts:<br />
<br />
-LESSONS, LESSONS, LESSONS! (With useful info on how to implement in my classroom.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.awn.com/tooninstitute/iconz/lessonsplash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.awn.com/tooninstitute/iconz/lessonsplash.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
-Funny stuff about being an art teacher or JH teacher.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
-Philosophy and best practices. Classroom organization, teaching skills, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
