Please check here often to see what opportunities are available for your child. If you need more specific opportunities related to your child's gifts and talents, please let me know, and I will research for you. We are blessed to be close to Western Kentucky University where many opportunities are offered. The Center for Gifted Studies at WKU has lots of wonderful opportunities. I have included the elementary things here, but please check out their website if you have older students or if you are interested in trainings for yourself - the parents!
