The day began at 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. with the Keynote speaker, Perry Wilson. For Mrs. Phegley "Attending the workshop, A Walk with Robert Frost was the highlight of my day. The only thing I wish was to be able to share the experience with my dad who loves Robert Frost and James Whitcomb Riley. My dad was the first person I called after I left." The Mt. Vernon Conference offers a variety of workshop opportunities for teachers across southern Illinois. |
