I hope everyone has a great summer and comes back next year ready to learn. Check out my links page as well as the Links for Learning/TAG links page on the home page of Spicewood's website. There are lots of activities to choose from to brush up on various skills for next year! Here is some cool information about the MENSA program: Through May 31 parents can submit their child's score to MENSA. To qualify, they need to submit the application (available here:<A href="http://www.us.mensa.org/join/testscores/print-an-application/">http://www.us.mensa.org/join/testscores/print-an-application/</A>)
and the score report. If it's a copy, the school needs to put their seal or have someone notarize that it's a true copy of the original.
