Its the end of the year and I thought would open a space to reflect on personal accomplishments for the year. This could be a formal award or as personal breakthrough. What interesting things have happened in your building?
From the HIMS newsletter: Jr Orchestra, Jr Band, Jr Jazz & Treble Choir Take Honors at Wild Waves
FOMAHI congratulates our talented Junior Orchestra, Junior Band, Junior Jazz, and Treble Choir students on their outstanding achievements at the Music in the Park festival held last weekend at Wild Waves:
Parents of gifted children are not at liberty to discuss their children's accomplishments. Sounds like bragging. I enjoyed this piece on the subject. We hold our tongues until we hear the code words.
Shhh has it right. You can only tell family and friends--and even then, they'd better be close friends who are very understanding, which generally means friends who have gifted children themselves.
Ideally, parents would use their real names when commenting here but, if you don't want to, please pick a pseudonym of some kind and use it either in the "Name/URL" option or put it at the end of your comment. That makes it easier for other parents to respond to your comment.

I think it is inspiring to hear the great things kids are up to and I hope that more people will share positive news.

Maybe even the relatives suspect that HCC is a ruse. Score!
