TAG Scholar's in Science Competition!

The PPS Department of Talented and Gifted Education is now accepting essays from students who have a passion for science and are identified as TAG.

Two students will be selected for the quality and content of their essay and will have the opportunity to attend a summer camp offered by OMSI, at NO COST.

We will accept scholarly essays from current 5^th and 6^th graders only. This competition is open to all schools and requires the student to write a one page essay describing how science has impacted their life and how they plan to study science to help make the world a better place.  Also, each essay will need to include why he or she wants to study a specific  area of expertise offered this summer at OMSI. All essays are due to the Department of Talented and Gifted Education by May 15^th, 2016.

Moby Max

Mrs. Culley has signed up our Math and Intellectual TAG identified students for an online math website called Moby Max.  Students will be coming home with information on how to access their accounts this week.  The program will begin with a placement test and then track students through fun activities that will take their math knowledge to a new level.

Please give us feedback on if/how you use it and if you think it is worthwhile to continue next year.
Thank you!
