Reflections (Arts in Education)
The Reflections program is one of the premier programs sponsored by the National PTA and Texas PTA. It encourages students in grades Pre-K through 12 to think creatively and to express themselves. Reflections is a program, not a contest. It emphasizes participation by all students. The Reflections Theme for 2009-20010 is "Beauty Is . . . ". The deadline for entry will be October 30th. Look for more information coming home with your child or in TigerBeat. If you have any questions please contact Kathy DiSabato, Arts in Education Chairman at arts-in-education@wellspta.org

McGruff House (Youth Protection)
Please consider becoming a McGruff house to help make our Wells Elementary School neighborhood safer and to help foster community involvement. A McGruff House is a “safe house” where children can go to receive help if they find themselves in a frightening or emergency situation. Please click here or contact Laurie Quigley for more info.

SAGE (Special and Gifted Education)
In August 2004 the Plano ISD Council of PTAs created the Special and Gifted Education committee, commonly referred to as SAGE. The purpose of SAGE is to provide education, support and communication to the families of children with special needs, accounting for approximately 25% of the students in Plano ISD. Whatever the challenge, from ADHD to giftedness to Down’s Syndrome, all of these students have special needs and that translates into families who have special needs. Please explore their web pages at www.planopta.org/sage.htm for more information. There you will find a calendar of events, information on support groups, upcoming educational opportunities, and community resources. SAGE Chairman for Wells Elementary is Julie Hornok and she can be contacted at sage@wellspta.org
