On
Saturday, March 13, 2010, at Butler Middle School, we celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of the
Utah Middle Level Association, by bringing back three Utah-favorite
speakers, Judith Baenen (1992, 1994, 2004), Jack Berckemeyer (2005),
and Debbie Silver (1996, 2007). After brief introductions at a general
meeting, during which we also celebrated middle school students and
teachers, each of our speakers presented three 90-minute sessions
throughout the day.
