1. What Horizons Is All About To the new Sawnee Elementary parents

2. S.T.A.R. Students Taking Academic Responsibility

3. Why Students Are Tested… Certain students get tested to see if they need a little more of a challenge than their regular class provides. These children will get tested on Math, Reading, and Creativity. If they meet the regulations, that child will be excepted into Horizons. If your child does not make it into Horizons, it doesn't mean they are unintelligent or not smart enough, they just didn’t need the challenge. This class provides chances to meet friends and experience times where they have to “think outside the box.”
