E-News (February 2025) – President’s Message

15 Feb 2025 5:23 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

I hope this message finds you safe and well this February. With its brutal winds, extreme temperatures, powerful storms, relentless precipitation, and devastating wildfires, this past month has provided truly remarkable examples of natural phenomena that connect our students on a very personal level with Earth’s systems. For those members who find themselves or their communities in the path of devastation, know that you're not alone. We recognize the resilience and dedication it takes to continue inspiring students amid such challenges. If there are ways we can assist or connect you with resources, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

As NESTA leadership, partner organizations, and members come together this winter in preparation for our national gathering at the NSTA convention in March, I want to give a heartfelt shout-out to everyone contributing their energy, enthusiasm, and expertise to this shared effort. As in the past, I’m asking members and organizations to share information about their events, workshops, posters, and vendor activities so we can best guide educators in connecting with our community. Please complete the following Google Form or email me directly with the information you wish to share.

Faced with extraordinary challenges on many fronts, we are reminded of the importance of creative solutions and strong partnerships in achieving our goals. At this past NESTA Board meeting, it was my pleasure to announce that Dr. Christine Hirst Bernhardt has been appointed as NESTA President-elect and will assume the role of NESTA President in May 2026. While I’ll allow Dr. Bernhardt to properly introduce herself, many in our community know that her willingness to step into this leadership role makes our community that much stronger.

Wishing you all continued resilience and inspiration!

Natalie Macke
NESTA President
