SUMMARY:DEADLINE - Journal Updates - Winter 2026
DESCRIPTION:Section updates usually focus on award winners\, so the 800 word limit doesn’t apply. If you are sharing Teacher of the Year\, etc.\, please try to get head shots of them to include. \nDistrict Presidents: We’re going to try something new. Instead of assigning each District a specific journal to send their updates in\, you’re all welcomed to send a few sentences updating us on great things happening in your area in each journal. This does not have to be long! (In the past\, each district gave half a page of updates.) We’re hoping this format will be easy for you to share events in a more timely manner than once a year. \nPlease reach out to Kim with any questions. \nKim Justen\nEditor\nNC Music Educator\njournal_editor@ncmea.net
