In 240 B.C. the Chinese recorded its presence in the sky, but if you dont catch a glimpse of it soon, you wont have another chance until it returns in the year 2061. young people and Sixty-eig- their parents from throughout the Granite School District learned these things and more about Halley s Comet early one Saturday morning during an outing at the Hansen Planetarium sponsored by the Granite District Assn, for Gifted Children. This hairy star, the youngsters learned, has also had a phenomenal impact in shaping events throughout the history of Western civilization, from spurring on the Norman conquest in 1066 to tempering the exploits of Genghis Kahn. The association was organized last year in April as a parents advisory committee on gifted and talented education. Intended originally to disseminate information about the districts gifted program and as a collection point for public input for a report to the committee was then preparing for the board of education, the association has grown into much more than that. About 150 people attended that first meeting, Stephanie Bird explained. Mrs. Bird, who serves as secretary to the organization, noted officers were elected in May as parents from various parts of the district met to discuss mutual concerns. In addition to Mrs. Bird, other officers include Dorothy Jensen, president; Dr. Robert Fineman, vice president Jeff Bardin, and secretary. The organization became more formalized when goals were developed during a meeting last June with the assistance of Arnold (Oz) Rothernick, special assistant to UofU president Chase Peterson. Those goals include: broad range of subjects and experience and prepare students both for college and the future job market; supporting the district in training and motivating teachers, counselors and administrators in gifted education so all gifted students may be taught and serviced by trained teachers and counselors. ; working to bring about consistent, uniform identification of gifted students througout the district; and helping parents increase their understanding of gifted children and gifted education. Officers of the association met with Superintendent John Reed Call and assistant superintendent Ralf Riches in October to introduce district administrators to its goals and plans. The associations advisory board, of the University of Utah and Dr. Joan Wolf, assistant professor of special education at the UofU.
