If you are signed up for Leigh Anne’s International Lawn and Field Games Intensive, please stop by and pick up a registration form this week and get your class fee of $45 turned in ASAP, so I can order materials. All fees need to be turned in by the Wednesday the 17th.

Gifted Mentorship Info:  With only one Gifted Mentorship Coordinator next year, there will not be formal recruitment meetings this spring. Instead we will be informing students about the program through the school’s newsletter, classroom visits, and through the daily announcements. If you know of a student who would benefit from a Gifted Mentorship next year, please direct them to our website:  http://www.asdk12.org/projects/gifted/  The website has our application and is a good source of information regarding eligibility requirements and mentorship expectations.  There will NOT be a summer program, but students should apply early for next year, as space may be limited!  Students wanting a fall mentorship next year MUST have their applications in by April 26th at 3pm. The deadline for second semester mentorship will be September 20th, 2013.  For the remainder of this year, all three coordinators will continue their weekly school visits. Beginning next year, Jean Poulsen will be the only coordinator for all schools.

For the rest of the year, my weekly schedule is:

Monday – West Cove

Tuesday – Steller Library

Wednesday – Bartlett CRC

Thursday – Service CRC
