- Applications (can be accessed at http://www.rcps.org/dis/gifted/gifted.htm) to SWVGS--along with three letters of recommendation (one high school math teacher, one high school science teacher, any other high school teacher)--are due to Mrs. Swope no later than February 1 (or the Monday after Feb. 1 if it falls on a weekend).
- Mrs. Swope held a meeting for students interested in Summer Residential Governor's School programs (Nov. 6). More information on these programs is available from Mrs. Swope. The deadline for academic and foreign language applications--as well as for applications for our school's VPA nominees--is December 10. (The VPA nominations report has been filed, and our school has selected its nominees for the performing arts.)
- The local gifted advisory committee will meet at the School Board Office on Wadsworth Street at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 3. The meeting is open to the public.
- The Dalton Tuesday Book Club is reading Of Mice and Men. We meet during lunch in Mrs. Morris' classroom. Eighth graders eating high school lunch meet on Wednesday during lunch in Mrs. Swope's office.
- Critical Thinking students have studied the brain, participated in the class invention fair, and are currently reading Call of the Wild. The semester course ends on January 16, after which a new group of students will take the course second semester.
- Current seniors who took Critical Thinking in seventh grade may remember writing "letters to themselves" on the last day of class five years ago. (The students were asked to describe themselves as they were in seventh grade and to ask questions of the person they would become over the next five years.) Be checking your mailbox in May, when I will mail these letters to you right before you graduate!
