The past week was a fun one for us. The pool party on the 23rd great, and I’ve had many QUEST kids seek me out over the last week to let me know how much they enjoyed it. There were also two open houses for QUEST families and possible QUEST families, providing opportunities to review the curriculum and discuss the program with current QUEST students, parents, teachers, and administrators. It was great to be able to share our experiences with our program with families who may be a part of it next year.
Now, it’s time to put in a little more work to make sure that all the things we enjoyed will still be there for us next year. If you’ve not yet returned your YES vote for the renewal of the Puyallup programs and operations levy, we urge you to do so today.
We’ll also be headed to Olympia on Friday, February 5th, to meet with our legislators and policy makers from the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Gifted Education Day is a fantastic opportunity to meet with other highly capable families and advocates, and to demonstrate the value that programs like QUEST and PAGE have for our kids. If you’ve not yet been to Gifted Education Day, I strongly encourage you to find a way to make it. I’ll be there with my two QUEST students, and the Washington Coalition for Gifted Education has said that this year may be the largest turnout they’ve had for this event. Don’t miss it!
