Advocacy - Information - Connection

Announcements! 

Congratulations on a successful 1st Quarter of the 2021-2022 school year! Gifted Minds Prosper is excited to continue its partnership with the GT program of PISD. As we progress towards normal, GMP hopes to expand our focus on our motto of Advocacy, Information, and Connection.

In this episode, we celebrate our GT Grant program, introduce Fall Parent Symposiums, and seek out GreaT teaching in action!

But first a quick Membership Update!

GMP has grown! We are excited to have 428 new members! The GMP board is excited to have you! Your involvement is what helps this organization move forward!

A BIG congratulations to Cockrell Elementary for leading the membership drive! Way to go Ms. Stevens!

As advocates for the Gifted & Talented program, one of GMP's biggest goals is to provide support and resources to PISD GT teachers. GT Grants allow teachers to purchase tools for extended and enhanced learning.
 
This year we are excited to offer over $2,600 in Grants to purchase learning materials for GT teachers throughout PISD. From Rubik's Cubes to green screens to robots and augmented reality headsets, GT learning this year is sure to be exciting!
 
We must THANK our sponsors and members for our ability to offer such vibrant grants to our PISD GT teachers for new ways to challenge GT students!
