Ultimate Christmas Party
Game Night
Many Stone Bank students and their parents attended the GT Game Night and Parents Evening. This was organized by the Arrowhead Area Gifted and Talented Coordinators on Thursday, November 19th at Richmond School. This was an opportunity for highly able and motivated students as well as their parents where the students were able to play strategy and thinking games as the parents attended discussions with the speakers. AHS students ran the games with the students and the parents and leaders had discussions on: The Growth Mindset by Carol Dweck, Introverts by Susan Cain and a common GT issue: Perfectionism.
