GIFTED PROGRAM TEACHER

We are lucky to have a gifted program at Nolan Elementary led by Carol Downs. Students begin the program by taking their regular reading class with Mrs. Downs and in fourth grade add a math class to their gifted studies. Many different projects are offered in this program. Students are recommended to this program strictly by their teachers and are then tested to see if the Gifted Program would best suit their needs.
