Welcome to the LBJ Scholars in Progress Web Page

LBJ SIP Parents,

Families of GT students statewide are invited to join a new network for Texas GT families!

The Gifted Education Family Network (GEFN) is a new opportunity for GT families to receive support, information, and connections with other families, facilitating positive advocacy for Texas GT programs, GT funding, and excellence in gifted education. GEFN is committed to equity and diversity in gifted education. We support the annual GT Parent Conference at the Baylor Center for Gifted Education and Talent Development and other low-cost opportunities for parent engagement across the state.

GT parents from all regions of Texas are invited to join us for free, to subscribe to our e-mail news (https://giftededucationfamilynetwork.org/subscribe/), to explore our website, and to follow us on social media (please visit our site for Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram links: https://giftededucationfamilynetwork.org/).

WKU Fall Super Sarudays

Join us for Virtual Fall Super Saturdays!

Dates: September 12, 19, & 26

Place: Online

Time: 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. CT

Tuition: $80 (some financial assistance available: email gifted@wku.edu)

Virtual Fall Super Saturdays offer 17 classes for students in grades 1-6 that give high-interest young people the ability to explore minds-on, hands-on classes in art, math, science, filmmaking, and so much more!

Each class is taught by an experienced teacher via Zoom. Students register for a class and connect with other like-minded kids all three Saturdays. Classes are fun, fast-paced, and filled with learning opportunities. A full list of classes can be viewed at https://www.wku.edu/gifted/super_saturdays/.

The Center for Gifted Studies at WKU has nearly 40 years of experience offering educational programming to students. We strive to make online learning as engaging and enjoyable as the in-person programming we’re known for.

Parents, I recommend joining TAGT (Texas Association of Gifted and Talented) and checking out their website. They provide a wealth of information.
