The gifted education program at Albertville Elementary School is called G.A.T.E. (Gifted and Talented Enrichment). Third and fourth grade identified gifted students attend gifted pullout enrichment classes 3-4 hours per week in Mrs. Adams' classroom. Students participate in concept-based units, projects and units based on students' interests, and research using the Apple technology in our classroom.

Hats Off to Mahala!
AES and APS students and teachers joined together this week in support of a friend! Mahala, a 5th grader at Evans, was one of our students for the past four years at APS and AES. These two schools hosted "Hats Off to Mahala!" on Halloween day! Any student or teacher who brought a dollar donation was able to wear a hat to school. Students and teachers wore a wide variety of hats: witch hats, team caps, cowboy hats, toboggans, fancy hats, etc. Everyone was happy to know that their donation would help a friend! Between the two schools, we were able to donate $1617.70 into the Mahala Lowery Fund at Vantage Bank. Our thoughts are with Mahala and her family in hopes that her treatments go well and she is able to come home soon! We love you, Mahala!
