News Release
Syntiro will hold its 25th annual Winter Retreat on January 28 and 29, 2011, at Point Lookout in Northport, Maine.  Maintaining the belief that honoring and supporting educators, through fabulous professional development opportunities is a priority, the retreat will provide an exciting and engaging learning opportunity.

The event is supported by funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and developed in collaboration with the Maine Alliance for Arts Education and the Maine Department of Education.

A stellar group of professionals committed to improving teaching and learning for all students using arts and technology will be in attendance.
