Mission For The Class

       Art students create  2-dimensional and 3-dimensional 
work using a variety of media. Art projects address Connecticut State 
Standards.   
      
      Gifted students participating in the Gifted/Enrichment Program 
work on independent projects that go beyond the regular school 
curriculum.  Projects are student initiated and teacher approved.  
Independent projects must enable each student to learn something 
new and to apply what is learned in a creative way. Students also 
receive training in Creative and Critical Thinking Skills through the 
Learning Center portion of their program.

      Reading Enrichment students will be working primarily to enhance their
comprehension, vocabulary, and analytical skills.
