Co-op for Gifted Children OPEN HOUSE

 

Dear Parents,
    Our next OPEN HOUSE will be Saturday, October 8th from 10 am to 3 pm at the Co-op, 1202 Lincoln Avenue in Alameda.  Come meet our fantastic education team, talk to our current parents, join us for a free lunch, peruse our free parent library, tour our facility, and learn more about the characteristics of gifted children and why they need an alternative educational environment to thrive and to succeed.  There will be lots of fun activities for kids ages 2-14!
RSVP to ourgiftedchildren@yahoo.com with the number of people planning to attend so we can order your lunches :)
