one-hour primetime game show on CBS featuring gifted kids

 (Please feel free to inform your gt students in grades 3rd-7th grade and their parents. Please find below information received from one our publishing friends regarding a one hour primetime game show on CBS featuring gifted kids.)

Dear Prufrock Press Customer,

I thought this opportunity sounded so fun and exciting that I couldn't wait to tell you about it.

CBS is currently in production on a new one-hour primetime game show for the CBS television network. According to a letter I received from the show's casting director, "In this one-hour unique and positive game show, one adult stakes his or her pride and reputation against a team of talented and gifted kids. Our purpose is to celebrate young people and education by making role models out of kids who are working hard to fulfill their educational goals.

"From geography to sports, history to movies, the kids will defend their intellectual capital against these grown up challengers, combining their academic talents to challenge the adult and send him or her packing."

The casting director went on to say, "We are looking for academically accelerated and gifted children nationwide to participate in our new kids game show. We are targeting well-rounded children of diverse backgrounds with unique interests."

If you know of a gifted child who might be interested in this opportunity, the following information will be helpful (each document is PDF file and requires Adobe Acrobat Reader for viewing):

I hope this information is of value to you.
