CPA May Calendar of Events

Membership Meeting Thursday, May 5th, 6:30 pm:

Festival of the Famous

Costume Rental

Got a 3rd or 4th grader? Then you’re probably in need of some “specialty” clothing items and accessories. Come to the May 5th meeting and maybe get a few items on your shopping list at CPA’s first annual Festival of the Famous Costume Rental.

Got a 5th or 6th grader? We’re collecting donated items from families of 5th and 6th grade students who have been there, done that, AND bought the toga. Items may be donated to CPA or may be loaned to CPA and returned after the Festival of the Famous in June. We rent out these items for a nominal fee, raising money for CPA and saving space and time for many of our families. If you have items you would like to donate to the rental inventory, collection boxes are posted in the D2 and E2 pods, as well as the main office of the school.

This meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Terrace Park Commons. There will be a very brief business meeting at 6:30 to review end of year financials. Snacks will be provided, and children are welcome–especially those shopping for costume components.

Guest Speaker Stephen Martin, President, WAETAG

We are pleased to announce that our postponed speaker from our March meeting, Stephen Martin, will be here on May 5th at 7:00 p.m. to speak to our families about the important work and support provided by Washington state and national gifted advocacy agencies. Stephen is the current president of WAETAG (Washington Association of Educators of the Talented and Gifted), and will speak about the work of his agency as well as that of:

• NWGCA (Northwest Gifted Child Assocation)

• WCGE (Washington Coalition for Gifted Education)

• SENG (Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted)


Saturday, May 7th, 10:30 a.m.:

Parent Coffee Chat

Join us for the last coffee chat of the school year at 10:30 a.m. at Urban City Coffee, corner of 44th Avenue and 212th Streets in Mountlake Terrace. Members of the CPA board will be there to find out what’s on your mind and faciltate discussion on any topic related to parenting gifted kids.

Wednesday, May 18th, 6:30 p.m.:

CPA Bylaws Revision Vote

Copies of the proposed revisions to the CPA bylaws were distributed through the Wednesday packets. We will be voting on the proposed revisions at this special meeting on May 18th at 6:30 in the Terrace Park Library. This will be a brief, half-hour meeting immediately before the scheduled PTA General Meeting, also in the Terrace Park Library.

Cheers,
Challenge Parents Association Board of Directors
