SIG Open House at Red Bank Middle School, September 27

RED BANK, NJ – On Saturday, September 27, 2008, the Summer Institute for the Gifted (SIG) will hold an open house for its new Saturday program at Red Bank Middle School.

Parents of gifted and talented students in grades one through six are invited to attend the open house for the new six-week Saturday program offered from October 11 through November 22.

SIG’s open house program, “Explore and Tour,” is designed to inform parents about program details, academic curriculum, and special program information. The event is hosted by members of the SIG staff and begins at 10 a.m. at Red Bank Middle School with registration, coffee and snacks. The schedule includes a presentation, question-and-answer sessions, lunch and escorted tours of the Red Bank campus.

Created and offered by the Summer Institute for the Gifted, the Saturday program at Red Bank is designed to empower students to discover and develop their skills and talents by engaging in authentic activities and applied curriculum. Participants face intellectual challenges, create original products and develop emerging life skills and talents. By working on a group project, students will also be a part of a vibrant learning community.
