The Project Arrow Parent Organization (PAPO) has been a keen advocate for gifted and talented students in District 204 for over a decade. Today, PAPO leaders recommend evolving into a Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) to gain organizational advantages, including the opportunity to have a voice in the Indian Prairie Parents' Council (IPPC). IPPC and its 32 unit members meet monthly with district administrators to share information about issues affecting the education, health, and welfare of children and youth in District 204.
Please join us as we consider the creation of the Indian Prairie Project Arrow PTA, enroll members, and hold officer elections during the Indian Prairie Project Arrow PTA Charter Meeting on February 12, 2009 at 7:00 pm in the Crouse Education Center, Boardrooms B5-B7. The Crouse Education Center is located at 780 Shoreline Drive, Aurora, IL 60504.
As a PA PTA, our goals will be to:
* Work with the school district to provide the best educational experience for gifted and talented children and help them reach their full potential.
* Provide a local community support group for parents, guardians, families and educators of gifted and talented children
* Inform legislators, school board members, educators, and the community about the unique challenges of giftedness and the importance of gifted programming
* Be a resource of information on gifted services and community programs
Membership is open to anyone interested in the education of gifted and talented students in District 204. If you are interested in running for an office, officer descriptions are attached. If you have any questions, please contact Donna Manley-Essenfeld, IPPC Membership Chairperson, 630.983.6185, donnamom2seven@sbcglobal.net.
We look forward to seeing you on February 12.
