Ms. Abby Siemen from Shelby County High School came to complete a lesson with reading and writing lesson with students at West and will be coming in December to do the same lesson at East.

I was able to attend the National Association for Gifted Children Conference in Indy last week. I have come back with new thoughts and ideas, and I will share them with students, teachers, and you in the coming weeks.

Please let me know what resources you might want to work with your child. I will try to add those topics to the monthly newsletter.
