We feel that by not excluding GATE children from everyone else, they learn the lifelong, important skill of working and getting along with all others. Olympic View does offer an enrichment program for GATE students. However, this program totally depends on staff members volunteering their time and efforts for a stipend. This next year, the program will be developed and implemented by Mrs. Souval, Mrs. Hanono, and Mrs. Miller . The decision was made to continue with the focus proposed in 1997, since it takes time to develop comprehensive programs.
All new programs do take time for teachers to change, add to, delete, and expand.
