Vision |

| The St. Elmo Center for Gifted Education and the MCSD Gifted Department is committed to providing an environment that nurtures the unique learning characteristics, interests and capabilities of gifted and talented students. Within this environment students are encouraged to realize their potential and develop a desire to use their talents and abilities to continue to set higher goals in their educational and social lives. |
Through rigor, collaboration and higher level learning, students will develop appropriate skills, concepts, and attitudes that will involve their own learning in order to become independent, self-directed life-long learners who will demonstrate and fully understand and accept the diversity of self and others. |

We hope everyone enjoyed the Winter Break with the unexpected snow. It was a beautiful sight to see. St. Elmo Center for the Gifted second semester Open House is next Tuesday, February 23 beginning at 6:00. We will meet in the auditorium for a few minutes and then you will be able to go to your child's classrooms. We are proud of the work that is done at St. Elmo and want you to help us celebrate the work of your student. St. Elmo faculty and staff are excited with the enrollment of our kindergartners. We appreciate all the parents and schools working with us to ensure that they will have a great start in their gifted instruction journey! New parents, please get involved in the GCAGC organization. We need your involvement! February is Black History Month. We are excited to have the staff of the Historic Columbus Foundation visit St. Elmo during the week of February 22-26 and deliver their Black Heritage presentation. This presentation will spotlight several of Columbus's significant and influential black citizens. This presentation is also aligned with the Georgia Performance Standards grades kindergarten through high school. We want to thank Leigh Sadler, 4th/5th grade teacher for arranging this educational presentation for the students. We are very excited about a guest speaker in March, Henry Real Bird, a Crow Indian who is the Poet Laureate of Montana. This opportunity is collaboration with the Columbus State University History Department and Dr. Virginia Causey, History Department Chair. This is a wonderful opportunity for the students and faculty. When we have final dates, we will send home a note and hope you will join us for this lecture. Please be sure and go to the Holler Back at Housand Blog and tell us your thoughts on the services that we offer your child. Feedback is good for the soul and we want to know your thoughts.
