Hi Dan,
I met you at Darlington Days at Bill’s home. We had a good conversation about BCET and my daughter who teaches in the Midland School District. Her name is Erika Kopsack and has been teaching for 27 years. I would like to meet with you at some point to discuss how I may fit into and assist your organization. I want to make a “a meaningful difference” in young minds. I am also interested in how to become a substitute teacher in Blackhawk and Beaver Falls school districts. I graduated from Beaver Falls High School and have an Associate Degree in Accounting from CCBC and a BSBA in Marketing from Robert Morris University.
