Don't forget about our 

End of the year celebration!

Wednesday, May 18, 2016 @ 6pm   

The end of the school year is quickly approaching, and we want to celebrate the work of our gifted students with a Family Gifted Night.  Students’ work samples will be on display.  We will also take a moment to acknowledge our 8th graders as they conclude their middle school years.  The finale of the event will be the brain piñatas!   

The event will be potluck style, so this will be a great opportunity for you to showcase a favorite dish. Use this link to sign up for a dish to bring. http://www.signupgenius.com/go/904094eacab2aaa8-family

Be sure to mark the date on your calendar; Wednesday, May 18, 2016 at 6:00 pm.
