We will send them back to the state or use them for Montgomery County locals that need more cards. These trifolds are excellent tools for parents to understand what is being taught at each grade level. A great PTA program would be to have the principal discuss the curriculum in each grade and talk about how it ties together and how it is changing. Now is the time to start planning your school s Reflections program. Reflections is a program from the National PTA that offers students an opportunity to submit their creative work in the areas of writing, art, photography and music.
Students compete at the local, council, state and then national level.
Materials from the Maryland PTA are sent to presidents. If you do not have the information, call Cathy in the office. Middle School Presidents will remember I alerted you in the August newsletter to a program that you should be investigating for your school. The Task Force on Mentoring Gifted Students of the Gifted and Talented Association of MC lead by Lesley Rosenthal has developed a program that will be offered in 10 middle schools this year. Gifted students will have the opportunity to work with a mentor in a very structured way.
