Thinking Outside of the Box
“Discovery consists in seeing
what everyone else has seen and
thinking what no one else has thought.”
—Albert Szent-Gyorgi
|
“Parenting a gifted child is like living in a theme park full of thrill rides. Sometimes you smile.
Sometimes you gasp. Sometimes you scream. Sometimes you laugh. Sometimes you gaze in wonder and astonishment.
Sometimes you're frozen in your seat. Sometimes you're proud. And sometimes, the ride is so nerve-wracking,
you can't do anything but cry.”
—Carol Strip, et al. A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children

We want to keep in touch — Please complete the new Parent Permission Form!
We’d very much to collect contact information for parents and guardians of all GATE-identified
