CreS Gifted Program

Have You Used Your Brain Today?
Text Box: Ride The Surf! Text Box: Want to avoid hearing the surfer’s expression describing awesome waves : “You should have been here yesterday”? Don’t let it happen to you! Get ready to “hang ten” and check this website often to get up to minute reports on what’s going on in the CRES Gifted program! Hopefully you have had a chance to “drop in” on this website before! It will be a tremendous year as we, at Central Riverside, surf the C.R.E.S.T. to success! I will provide your child with the basic supplies they need for Gifted such as paper, crayons, scissors, glue. I ask that they come to class prepared with a pencil. As we carve through the year, there may be some specific supplies your child will need for special projects. I will post that information here as well as send a note home to let you know what is needed. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments. I can be reached at 381-7495 extension 122 or e mail me at mortonl@duvalschools.org. I look forward to seeing you in the “line up” as we catch a wave into an awesome year!
