OWLETS (wise little ones) is a program that involves students in the gifted program mentoring students at lower grade levels. OWLETS offer friendship, encouragement, academic assistance, and an opportunity to practice good citizenship and character building.

OWLETS work closely with their sponsoring teachers, Mrs. Newman and Mrs. Doss, to develop activities for their "mentees." OWLETS meet weekly and work on a one-on-one basis with their mentees. Our mentors are involved in working with pre-schoolers at the S.T.A.R.C. facility and working with students in grades K-3 at Magnolia Trace Elementary,
