The Puyallup highly capable programs  did very well in the face of last year’s financial challenges, but that doesn’t mean that we can be complacent.  Discussions are underway in Olympia about how to proceed with the implementation of last session’s education reform legislation, and we need to make sure that highly capable is included in those discussions. 

Further, the Puyallup School District will seek approval in February of a programs and operations levy to replace the current expiring levy.  A special kick off rally will be held next week to begin preparations for the campaign in support of the levy, and everyone is welcome to join.   Highly capable could also use a voice on the citizen’s committee working to coordinate support of the levy.  If you think you might be interested in serving on the committee, or have questions about what it may entail, please contact ABC and we’ll pass your information along.

To learn more about what’s needed at the state and local levels, as well information about how to take advantage of matching contributions to double the value of your donations to ABC, please see what’s been posted to our website at www.questabc.org:
