A huge thank you to everyone who came out to meet the authors at our Author Fair on February 8. We are proud to say that the event was a success and everyone had a great time!

Events coming up in the next month or two:
  • Educating the Gifted Child seminar, Feb. 22, given by Northwestern's Center for Talent Development (CTD)
  • Also via CTD, the next NUMATS testing deadline is March 4. Many CANDO parents have found NUMATS testing to be a very valuable tool in understanding their children's educational needs.
  • There is a Summer Resource Fair sponsored by STAGE, our Naperville Dist 203 equivalent organization, on March 4.
  • Coming up on March 24 is CANDO's seminar for any parents and educators interested in gifted education, "How Well Do You Know Your Gifted Child?" presented by Elizabeth Selander Hutchins, 7-8:30 p.m. at Rotolo Middle School. Spread the word!
