A Message from AGATE’s Co-Presidents
| The school year is underway, and AGATE events are off to a great start! We had a great turnout for our first “Connecting over Coffee” of the year at Ble Cafe & Bakery. We loved seeing so many new faces and are happy you are here. Our next Coffee is November 6th at noon via Zoom. Join us to meet other parents, share strategies and resources, and discuss challenges. We are looking forward to our Enrichment Opportunities Fair on Tuesday, October 17th at 7:30pm in the Schreiber Cafeteria, where parents can learn about enrichment and acceleration opportunities of all kinds. This year we’ve invited lots of community partners (Ed Foundation! Kumon! PWPL! Residents Forward! Writing SupPORT, and more!) to table alongside the many district enrichment opportunities for our elementary, middle, and high school students. We’ve also got a few special guests so you can hear about the opportunities from students who’ve participated in the past. We hope you will attend! Please see the flyer below. We are pleased to announce the launch of our annual membership drive. AGATE needs you! Click here to become part of a community of parents, guardians, and community members who are advocating for advanced learners and enrichment opportunities for all. In addition to supporting us with a $25.00 membership fee, please consider making an additional donation to support our Toula J. Halperin Scholarship for graduating Schreiber seniors. As always, we welcome your ideas and perspective! For this year’s advisory board, we still need another liaison for Guggenheim. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact us at co-presidents@agatepw.org. Happy Fall! Elizabeth Milbank Sobel & Kelly McMasters AGATE Co-Presidents |
