** What is the “Ultimate Celebration?” **

This collaborative event among East Central BOCES and North-East BOCES school districts celebrates the gifted student’s love of learning, advanced thinking skills, and desire to be with others of like interests and abilities. The Ultimate Celebration focuses on a topic relevant to gifted education and allows students to study, engage, create and contemplate the topic’s relationship to various content areas, careers, time periods and cultures. Multi-grade classes are taught by teachers and experts with a focus on higher level thinking, inquiry, problem-solving and affective development. This year the Denver Zoo provided instructors to teach the classes. They brought live animals in addition to animal pelts and owl pellets for students to dissect. There were three classes offered: “Amazing Adaptations” (learning how animals adapt to survive in the wild), “Raptors Revealed” (dissection of owl pellets, meeting a live bird of prey), and “Wildlife Science 101” (hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology like radio telemetry to track animals in the wild, conservation efforts, and career paths in the life sciences through interaction with zoo professionals). Thanks to Limon Public Schools for the use of their facilities. Forty-two students from ECBOCES and NEBOCES attended this event. The next event will be held in February in Sterling and will focus on creativity and the arts. //(This article was submitted to the Limon and Genoa-Hugo local newspapers by Cindy McCallum – G/T Coordinator, Limon Public Schools)//
