The Gifted and Talented Parents' Association (GTPA) recently hosted a district-wide Invention Convention for grades K-6. Students were encouraged to come up with invention ideas and showcase them at the event, whether by a model, fold out presentation or simply a paper sketch. On Feb. 27, school principals, families of the students, Superintendent Banzer and the Board of Eduation came came together on the evening of the convention to celebrate the young minds of these students.

Each student was given an invention “patent” certificate and a ribbon recognizing their hard work and creativity.

Additionally, the evening featured raffle with items from local donors, including local summer camps, golf, restaurant and museum passes, and a wonderful night was had by all.
