Friends:

Now that school is starting, here is some information on national and
local resources for your gifted children. Please be sure to pass this
message on to other parents who are not on this list. Perhaps your
favorite principal will put it in the school newsletter or TAG
bulletin board.

Thank you,

Margaret

WEBSITES

The Davidson Institute for Talent Development also has lots of
resources

Don't miss the OATAG conference, October 9th at beautiful Reed College
in Portland Oregon. The topic is "Is Giftedness really a Gift?"
Attending an OATAG conference changed my life!

Please help us to spread the word by sending the information out to
your
school e-mail lists, or asking your principal to put information in
your
school newsletter. The conference is open to anyone who is interested.
