The Shoreline Hi Cap Advocacy Group, in partnership with the Shoreline PTA Council, is excited to welcome back Austina De Bonte, president of the Northwest Gifted Child Association (NWGCA), to Shoreline for her presentation, "What Parents and Educators Need to Know About Smart Kids."

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the social/emotional concerns that impact our advanced learners: what's normal, what to expect as they grow, and why genuine challenge is vitally important to their learning, as well as the development of their academic talents --- from the preschool and elementary years all the way to high school and beyond.
