[Ohiogift] OAGC Parent Day October 11

[Angela Grimm]

I hope everyone's school year is off to a great start! I wanted to reach out and personally invite you to our OAGC Parent Day on Sunday, October 11. 
   
   - First is our Division meeting--ALL parents welcome! Perhaps suggest carpooling from your area.
   - Stephanie Tolan will be the bulk of the afternoon. I was literally moved to tears during her talk at NAGC a couple of years ago. She will keynote and then we have a Q&A with her.
   - Then a parent/professional panel on how to be an advocate--from classroom level on up. The panel will be comprised of a professor from OU/parent, former Gifted Coordinator, Ann Sheldon (OAGC Director) and a parent or two. I will moderate. 
   - We also have one of the authors from the new Fordham book called Failing Our Brightest Kids, a look into how the US is doing too little to educate students to achieve at high levels. 
A great jam-packed day and it only costs $5!!!
Parent Day is a great opportunity to network and learn from other families--and often the educational/game vendors have set up early so you can buy from them.
Thanks for your help in promoting Parent Day--and please plan on attending the division meeting beforehand.
Attached is a flyer to email around and also attached is a .PNG photo you can use to post on social media.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions and hope to see you on October 11!
Best,
Angela GrimmOAGC Parent Division Chair
