As to what to send, it really depends upon your child. What is it that makes him stand out? Find a way to highlight his greatest strengths. Look at Bloom's taxonomy for ideas on what they are looking for- I believe there is a link or explanation provided on the DYS site.

Cathy A Member Joined: May 2007 Posts: 1,783 West coast, USA	Well, I sort of consider it a long shot anyway so I'm not really too worked up over it. I didn't even try to figure out when to send it to have the shortest wait.
