Halton Chapter 2009-2010

The Halton Chapter executive (Deb Seago, Judy Edwards, and Phyllis Smith) have put together what they hope is an interesting series of events for members to attend throughout this year.

There will be a mix of casual, social nights and informative sessions with expert speakers. There should be something to appeal not only to long-time ABC members, but also to parents of very young gifted children and parents of newly identified students.

Don't miss out! Check the calendar regularly as we are working out details as quickly as we can.

Look for our new "event titles" to be posted on the calendar. Here is a sample of what's to come…

Download: These events are informative, networking events to bring together parents of newly identified gifted students and parents with experience in gifted education in our Boards. These Q&A and information sharing evenings energize and give confidence to parents in the midst of making those important placement decisions.

Discover: These sessions are designed to introduce parents of very young bright and gifted children to giftedness, gifted education in Halton, and to the resources available through ABC.

Research: Expert speakers will be invited to speak to us about a topic relevant to parents of gifted children.

Chill: Informal gatherings will be held at pubs and coffee houses to give parents an opportunity to network and talk in a relaxed atmosphere.
