40 years of building bridges. This is the one you don't want to miss.

Four decades ago, a small group of educators decided early language learning deserved a real seat at the table. Forty years later, that fight is still ours.

Join us July 20-21 for the NNELL Summer Summit, held virtually. Two days built for teachers, principals, and families who refuse to let language programs disappear. Registration is $60 for a bundle that includes membership.

Keynote by Dr. Tracy Vik, principal of one of the only one-way Spanish immersion schools in South Dakota. Sessions built for the real challenges you're navigating right now.

Come learn. Connect. Make a difference.

Consider submitting a proposal for NNELL's Summer Summit! It would be great to see Wisconsin voices represented.

You have something worth sharing. A strategy that changed a classroom. A conversation that shifted how a school leads. An approach that finally worked.

NNELL wants to hear it.

We are turning 40 this year, and our Summer Summit is bringing together Families, Administrators, and Teachers to do exactly what our name says: build bridges.

But we need your voice. Your colleagues' voices.

Proposals close April 22 — just 15 days away. It takes less time than you think, and it matters more than you know.
