  • Ten ways you can use psychologically minded language with your gifted/2e student (at home or at homeschool) January 18, 2021
    Working with your child as a both a teacher and a parent can be challenging. Teachers go to years of school to learn how to reach and mold talented young minds.

  • GHF Celebrates MLK Day January 18, 2021
    For those of us who grew up during the life of Martin Luther King, Jr, we became rooted in what it meant to be an American by understanding King’s approach to applying the principles of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and our lore. “I say to you today, my friends, so even though […]

We all want community. Our culture revolves around being […]

  • Community. Life or Death? It Was for Us. September 2, 2020
    That fall,  when Grace started the gifted school-within-a-school program, was not spent focusing or doing what she was supposed to. Her teacher was emailing, albeit carefully, letting me know that she was hoping Grace could focus a bit and give her best effort. These emails made my husband and I smile. She was getting in […]
