AAGT Parent Institute & Children’s Super Saturday

​Parents and Teachers,

​

There is still time to register for the AAGT Parent Institute & Children’s Super Saturday on September 27, 2014, at the Grand Canyon University in Phoenix.  This is an outstanding professional development event for Parents, Students, and Educators.  This year, there are many great sessions to choose from – see attached listing!     

The Arizona Association for Gifted & Talented (AAGT) Parent Institute is a one-day event geared towards the needs of Arizona’s parents of gifted and talented children.  Our goal is to advocate, educate, and communicate on behalf of gifted learners in the state of Arizona.  Your day starts with a dynamic keynote speaker and breakout sessions based on parents’ needs.  Also provided is an on-site enrichment program for K-8 students to attend while their parents are in sessions.   This year’s keynote speaker is Dr. Amy Serin.

The Parent Institute is $25 per adult (pizza lunch included), OR purchase our Package and get your Registration AND 1-year AAGT membership for $40.  Save $10!  Children's Super Saturday is $25 (lunch isnot included for children due to food allergies) for your first child and $10 each for additional child.  Click here for more information and registration. 

Please forward this information to your gifted students, parents and teachers.  We hope to see you there!

Best,

Peter C. Laing
