When we left Greenville our smarty-smart girl was doing the final testing for the Gifted and Talented classes. The teacher told us it was more of a formality and that she would be accepted. She did not get to participate because we moved. Fast forward to the end of this last school year. She had been accepted to Gifted and Talented in Littleton. They were working on her IEP (Individual Education Plan) when we made the decision to move to the Springs.

The other night at the back-to-school event for her new school we sought out the Gifted and Talented teacher. We spoke to Ms. R and asked her what we needed to get our girl in the class. She asked us to bring her the paperwork from Littleton and she would make some phone calls. The next day I dropped the paperwork off to her. The day after that she called to inform us that our girl was indeed accepted to Gifted and Talented (TAG) for reading. Now while the rest of her class does their regular reading she leaves to go to her advanced reading. To make us even more proud, there are only 6 fourth graders in her school who qualified for Gifted and Talented in either reading or math. She is one of those six.

Now on to the Landshark. Yesterday, Campbell had her first practice for the cross-country team. That's right, the elementary school has a cross-country team. They meet once per week for seven weeks for practice. They also have 3 meets. She is very excited to start this activity. In the spring they also run track.
