Our FIRST Spirit of Service Award Winner is the incredible Alex Westenbroek!

During the 2025-2026 school year, Alex was an active member in our phone banking for the operating levy, showed up for trivia, and joined other members in food delivery for families during operation Metro Surge.

He is an a remarkable example of the core tenants of our union.

We are so proud of our members.

If you want to engage, we have a wealth of opportunities this year.
--Join your building meetings to advocate.
--Get Out the Vote, as as a worksite action leader, or VOTE!!
--Consider being a building rep (we are looking for reps at the DO/TLC and West)

Membership matters because of what we all put into it. Let us know if you see other opportunities for member engagement.

We have a great new add-on for our insurance called Proximal. The goal is to help us be better consumers of our healthcare. The company helps to match users to medical services with high results and low cost. Watch below for the big payoff--pun intended.

Our union team this year for the Education Minnesota Representative Convention! These are essential for discussion union action, advocacy and legislative priorities.

Members! What a year it has been. We have seen some incredible engagement and advocacy amongst our members in a wide range of opportunities this year. From phone banking for the levy this fall, to food distribution support this winter, as well as the continued members showing up for advocacy days at the capital, building meetings, and member engagement opportunities throughout the year, you all constantly remind us of the power of people doing the good work.

Therefore, it seems fitting to announce a new service award on behalf of the Shakopee Education Association to honor such service amongst our members.

The Spirit of Service Award is an opportunity to nominate a fellow member who embodies the Organizational Values of the Shakopee Education Association through their service, volunteerism, and community involvement. If you know an incredible member who shows up for their colleagues, encourages union engagement, and/or is an incredible advocate for teachers, consider nominating them today.

Nominations can be given by any SEA member to any current SEA member.
Nominations are open from April 20th until May 15th, 2026.
The award recipient will be announced at the General Membership Meeting in August.

Please check your personal email for nomination form links and further information.
