NEW: Parent Representatives/Liaisons
PGL is providing two parent co-reps to serve each school in our District. These co-reps will help support the Gifted Specialist, be available to answer questions of fellow parents, and serve as a liaison between each school and PGL. We are still looking for a few more volunteers; please contact Rachel Stohler at rachelstohler@yahoo.com with questions.Community Building and Parent Education CommitteeThis committee seeks to build a parent community that understands and nurtures gifted learners. We accomplish this by hosting open houses, disseminating resources, engaging in meaningful discussions related to gifted learners, and gathering for social events.
