Midwinter Blues? Make Plans for Summer

Volume 1 / Issue 2 / Winter 2001

It’s the middle of the school year, the winter skies are gloomy, and your child is restless. What better way to break up the winter doldrums than to plan for summer?

A summer program can offer your child a challenging academic experience and the opportunity to develop friendships with intellectual peers. Gifted and talented students benefit tremendously from such programs because they provide educational and social experiences often lacking in a regular school environment.

We have identified some resources to get you started. Researching the programs together is essential: your child should feel that the program will be engaging and rewarding, and you need to be assured that it will provide a stimulating and safe environment. So, break out a beach blanket, sit down with your child, and daydream about summer fun and friendships.
