Clarendon ISD Gifted & Talented students showcased their projects for the community last Tuesday, April 28, in the school cafeteria. GT classes focused on the Texas Performance Standards Project, which provides standards for students to conduct self-guided research on topics of their choice while challenging them to high levels of achievement. Through completion of the projects, students were able to demonstrate a deep level of understanding in at least one area of study.
The Showcase was a great opportunity for these students to share their area of interest and for the community to enjoy their quality work. CISD officials appreciate everyone for making the Showcase a success, including mentors and teachers that guided students through their projects and Mrs. Howard and the Family & Consumer Science students for preparing and serving refreshments.
