🤖 Putting on our “Tomorrow Glasses”! 👓

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Tomorrow Glasses: Preparing Our Students for Their Future (Even If We Can’t See It) with educator and author Matt Miller!

Matt challenged educators to think differently about the role of AI and emerging technology in education—while sharing practical ideas and strategies to help create meaningful, future-ready learning experiences for students.

A special thank you to Mankato Area Public Schools for providing this opportunity and bringing educators together to learn, explore, and prepare for what’s next.

Honoring Dr. Les Martisko

SCSC invites you to help honor the life and legacy of Dr. Les Martisko, who served as SCSC’s Executive Director and made a lasting impact on our organization, the USAD, and education in Minnesota.

A memorial bench is being planned in Les’s honor at Murphy-Hanrehan Park in Savage, MN. The location was chosen because of Les’s passion for running and his founding of Surf the Murph, an annual series of races held in the park.

Those who would like to contribute toward the memorial bench can make a donation through the USAD: https://buff.ly/SdOuBGF

SCSC is grateful for the many ways Les served our organization and our region. We hope you’ll join us in remembering Les and celebrating his remarkable life and lasting legacy.
