Enrichment Events:

The Thompson Academy is interested in starting up a CHESS CLUB! It is a  virtual chess club and would promote competition here
and throughout the island. Does anyone have a school interested to start up? We were considering online games as well as hands-on
games with our roll-up mats here. Per discussion, any interest in online classes via their TEA Program let HGA know and we can route
calls and questions to them. There's possibilities.



HGA Speaking Engagements:
 
  The HGA is available to speak to your school, PTA, or other group about gifted and talented topics.   Please email us with interest.
