Can you give an hour on Saturday, April 17, to help dig holes for our “Kids Reforesting Forest Knolls” project? We will be there from 9 am – Noon, preparing to plant 27 trees and shrubs with two groups of Girl Scouts (Debbie Namovicz and Cecily Thorne’s troops) later on Saturday and into Sunday. If you can stop by on Saturday morning and dig just one hole, we would appreciate it! This is a great Earth Day activity for families and a great cause. The 27 trees and shrubs we will install next month brings us to almost 50 new plantings at Forest Knolls in the past year, which are providing learning opportunities for our kids, beautifying our school and (of course) benefitting our planet. FYI, costs for this entire project have been covered by grants and donations. Our latest donors include Maryland Urban and Community Forestry Committee, Maryland Department of Natural Resources/Tree-mendous MD, Stadler Nurseries, and Earth Sangha, a native plant nursery in northern Virginia. And, a prospective Eagle Scout will mobilize the community to install our nature trail later this spring. We would love to have you and your family participate in our growing project! Please contact me if you are interested: Clare Nielsen (Neal), 401 Belton Road, Silver Spring, 301-754-6355 (home), 301-704-0439 (cell).		 18

It Is More than Academic
Time: 7:00 pm
Is your gifted and talented child getting the most from their education? Is your focus solely on academics such as test scores and end-of-quarter reports? If so, you may be missing an important element of your child’s learning process. Come to a workshop hosted by the Gifted and Talented committee in the Media Center. Erica Burman, GTA Vice President and SENG (Supporting Social and Emotional Needs of the Gifted) facilitator will share her insights on how to address the social and emotional needs of your gifted child. In this workshop you will: ? Learn about the characteristics of gifted students –as well as the most common myths ? Learn effective strategies for ensuring your child has a well-rounded education that meets their learning needs ? Gain new insights on how your child can thrive and increase their success inside and outside the classroom For more information contact Valerie Merriweather, GT Liaison at valerie.merriweather@verizon.net. 		21 22 23
