Kids Kollege at BRVGS Parent Information Night

Academic Gifted Parent Information Nights include a child care portion called Kids Kollege. Children are involved in educational activities while parents attend the information meeting.

Here students are learning about life in the woods with a naturalist and state forester. Following this presentation, the children worked with high school students on a variety of projects: maple syrup taste tests and woodland animal mask making.

Preregistration for Kids Kollege is encouraged to assure that there are enough materials for each child to participate.
