Super Saturdays at The Center for Gifted Studies at WKU | Western Kentucky UniversitySuper Saturdays encourages students in grades 1 – 6 who are of high ability or have high interest in a topic to pursue their passions outside the regular classroom. Through a minds-on, hands-on approach to learning, students explore and investigate such areas as math, art, science, history, writing, music, and performance under the thoughtful guidance of experienced teachers and in the company of enthusiastic, like-minded peers. Each year, over 1000 students enjoy the benefits of Super Saturdays.

Thanks Donors Choose!!

Recently, through the generous people who are committed to supporting education, I was able to fund another project through Donors Choose. My project was focused on getting more supplies and interesting activities for students at GCIS. Before Christmas break, I was thrilled to receive:

A wall board for building Lego creations
Blokus - a game of strategy and shapes
Another chess board
Creative "Flakes" for building just about anything you can imagine.
A set of jacks, great for building hand/eye coordination
Perplexus - a maze game inside a globe. Believe me, it's a real challenge!
A 3D puzzle of Diagon Alley from the Harry Potter series
Gravitron set - a maze set with 100s of ways to build a variety of marble runs.
