A Message from Our President ----- Scholarships & Awards ------ GAM Conference 2012----NAGC

We, the members of the Gifted Association of Missouri, believe an appropriate education is every Missourian's concern. We also believe children with unusual potential have unique learning needs. We recognize that Missourians must become aware of these children and their needs at home, at school, and in the community. Therefore, the Gifted Association of Missouri sets as its goals:

• Be a leader for gifted children in the school reform movement.
• Empower parents of gifted children to become informed and active advocates for their gifted children.
• Ensure adequate funding for the education of gifted children in Missouri.

Thanks to the 500 students, teachers, parents, and guests who attended Gifted Education Day at the Capitol on February 21! Your attendance and our recoginition throughout the Capitol that day speaks volumes for gifted education in the state of Missouri.

• GAM is now active on social networks making it easier than ever to get involved.
