WINTER 2015/16 | ADVOCATE 17 AEA congratulates Abby Palmer, Allison Embacher, Constance Jackson, Pernilla Wallengren, Jodi Walters, Ryan Clark, Jason Teague, and Bobby Magna Jr., who each won a $250 Visa gift card. "As a teacher, I value having great support staff helping me," said Allison Embacher on why she chose to join the AEA. "So I think it's important to have a group like the AEA backing me and everything I do. That support is good because sometimes I feel alone standing in front of a classroom full of kids and it's nice to know I'm not really alone." The winners' names were drawn on September 30, 2015, from all new members who joined during the back-to-school new employee events. AEA welcomes all new members who joined the association! 1.
