Chapter Newsletter Archive

Contact us to start receiving future newsletters. We do not share our mailing list with anyone. If you have difficulty receiving the newsletter, please follow related advice to adjust your email settings.

Earlier editions (2012-2016) arrived via old-school plain text email. We began using a new system in Fall 2016, so this archive starts there. Many of the resources shared during earlier years are available here, grouped by subject matter, or at Gifted 101. We update this archive once a year, after the current school year has closed. The best way to access local GT news, events, and resources as they unfold is to subscribe!
