Some Short Conversations

Below are a couple of short email conversations I had with Elder Hadden today:

Mon cher Elder Hadden

Did you have Nathan Chen in your classes at West? Maybe he was an ELPer with you? Good skater?

He’s competing in the Olympics tonight! He went to West. Having a little trouble, but HEY! He’s there!

He took fourth in men's figure skating!

Elder Hadden replied:

I sure did know him. I've been waiting for 7 years to hear how he does in the Olympics. Thanks for letting me know.

ELPer - The ELP program seeks to serve those students at the high end of the range who possess unique gifts and abilities to succeed in an academic setting. West High School provides magnet ELP services to 7th and 8th grade students. Those who are identified receive specific curriculum and instruction that includes both increasing a student's access to knowledge through increasing depth and complexity, as well as acceleration when appropriate. Our task is to create opportunities for all students to learn something new every day.
Affectionately known as ELPers, these 7th and 8th grade students take core courses with their grade level peers, but also mingle with high school age youth in developmentally appropriate elective classes, and are an important part of the West High School history and culture. The program is designed to support students through this developmental stage while challenging their minds to learn and grow.
