Gifted Teacher Share Fair 2012

On Friday, November 16th, Mrs. Mary Shurett (the GATE teacher at Evans) and I hosted gifted teachers from all over North and Central Alabama for this year's Gifted Share Fair. As teachers arrived, they were met and escorted to the media room at AES by AES Ambassadors.





Twenty eight teachers from different school systems came for a day of meaningful professional development.  Each teacher brought a concept-based unit, lesson plan, or idea to use in the gifted classroom.  As each unit was shared, a copy of that unit was passed out to everyone in attendance.  By the end of the day our large notebooks were packed full of great ideas, lessons, units, and resources to use with our gifted students.  Mrs. Shurett and I were happy to be able to share a little bit of the Albertville City School System with the teachers.  Dr. Ayer, Mrs. Bishop, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Sheets, Mrs. Robinson, Dr. Sims and Mrs. McCulley welcomed our guests at the beginning of our great day of sharing.  We are thankful that Albertville was able to host this year's event and look forward to a great day of sharing next year in Piedmont.

Jesse Brooks Foundation Fashion Show


AES Ambassadors

Our GATE students serve AES as Ambassadors for the school. Our students were hosts and hostesses for Grandparents' Day at APS. Our Ambassadors were scattered throughout APS to help guests find the appropriate classrooms. Some of our 4th grade Ambassadors were models in the Jesse Brooks Foundation Fashion Show held at AES at the end of August. Be sure to check out the slideshow to see photos of our GATE students at this event. On Veterans' Day our 4th grade Ambassadors will carry the banners for Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines in our Veterans' Day Parade. Ambassadors usually wear their AES t-shirt and have an "official badge" with photo and name. There will be many other Ambassador functions throughout the school year. I am proud of the manners displayed by these students as they represent our school and are a role model to younger students!
