Please, Don't Leave Our Children Behind Day

April 18, 2007

A day for gifted children, their families and their teachers to gather in Springfield, Illinois

espaņol (thanks to Rosina Gallagher!)       

Join many gifted children, their parents and their teachers on a visit to Springfield, our state capital.  The objectives of this visit are twofold.  First, we want our children to experience democracy in action, see how laws are made, meet their local representatives and visit the new Lincoln Library or local historic sites.  Second, we want state lawmakers to see that many of their constituents are interested in educating gifted children.  This is the chance for our children to learn about law-making by seeing it in action and for our legislators to learn about gifted children by seeing some of them in action!
 
Show the gifted children in your life that their needs are important. Bring them to Springfield on April 18, 2007!  Individuals, families, parent groups and school groups are all encouraged to participate.
