Adair Gifted Students visit State Capitol Gifted Education Week in Kentucky is February 4-10, 2008 By Pam Geissellhardt On January 29, 2008, a group of Primary Talent Pool/Gifted/Talented students traveled to Frankfort and were present in the Capitol Rotunda when the Governor's proclamation declaring Gifted Education was presented. All the students got to meet our Senator, Vernie McGaha, tour the capitol, and eat in the Capitol Cafe. The younger students had the opportunity to see the legislative process in action by sitting in the galleries of both the House and the Senate, as guests of Representative Russ Mobley and Senator McGaha. The four older students were honored as pages serving Senator McGaha. The pages were Dylan Claiborne, Kyle Mann, Audra Turner, and Rachel Stephens. The younger students, Kayla Absher, Emilee Camfield, Charity Frost, Stevie Keltner and Preston Loy, had the privilege of going on the trip because of their hard work in a PTP/G/T fundraiser held earlier this year. Sarah Bault, Preston Loy, Parker Staten and Hailey Taylor won drawings held immediately following the fundraiser. The adult winners of $25 gift certificates, donated by Walmart, were Paula Bault, Donna Rogers, Melinda Booher and Tammy Zavalija. The students in the program greatly benefit from opportunities to spend extended periods of time together. Study travels allow them the opportunity to share their unique capabilities and interests. The hard work of our students and their parents, and the resulting community contributions during our fundraiser provided the funds for our trip to Frankfort and other extended classroom experiences. These extensions, held both locally and away, are planned to further the learning of students according to their particular areas of identification. Explorium of Lexington worked with a group of students on science and math activities. Another group enjoyed a presentation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol at the Kentucky Repertory Theatre and took a guided backstage tour. A TIP grant from the Kentucky Arts Council provided an artist to visit our district and work with identified language arts students on storytelling techniques. The Mammoth Cave Environmental Education Program presented to a group of students who later toured part of the cave. 2nd Grade Primary Talent Pool students traveled to Nashville where they attended ICE, a celebration of the 50th birthday of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, lunched at the Rainforest Cafe, and walked through the lush indoor gardens in the Climate-controlled atrium of the Opryland Hotel. These opportunities for high ability students to broaden the scope of their interest and interact with other bright young people are invaluable. Gifted Education Week is a time for all citizens of Kentucky to recognize "Gifted Education-It's The Right Thing To Do." This story was posted on 2008-02-05 13:43:10
