A hearty thank you and congratulations to this year's GECO planning group and the many, many GECO volunteers who made all of our events a reality. There are still some leadership volunteer opportunities available with GECO for next year. Below is a list of positions, with the names of those volunteering for each. Any position with a blank is currently available- we would love to have YOUR name on one of those slots. It is a great way to get more involved with the great momentum for gifted services in this District, to get to know other parents, and to have your children get to know other students in the District. Please let us know if you are interested in a position, or contact us at geco@arvamont.com if you have any questions or if you have a proposal for an additional event for the coming year.
