Speakers needed for the monthly presentations at Marysville Mountain View High School

Hello all - We are planning to have IGNITE/BITE presentations this year at Marysville Mountain View High School the first Thursday of every month except April. Let me know if you are available to be a featured speaker... a quick 20 minute career speech to two different groups is what we are planning. Time would be 2nd period: 8:40-9:30 AM. Plus, if you know of any other people in your department that is willing to speak - we always welcome additional speakers. We have time for three speakers each month. Please let me know which month would work best for you and I will put you on our calendar as one of our featured speakers. Also, attached is a speaker prep sheet as a guide for your presentation. Thanks again for your continued support!
