Here are more talks this fall. These are by local presenters/experts

education experts)

Over the past 5 years, I'm extremely grateful to both NVUSD and NCOE
for helping parents of gifted children become informed helpers to our
children and empowered advocates for our children. Please help get
other parents to attend these programs so they know what's going on in
our schools, community and over the internet that can help our
children.
