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.
School supplies are in - retailed bags come filled with goodies! Pass information on to clients, clubs, schools etc..don't forget our quality
