==================================
Welcome to the GEAC website! Our mission is to provide Outreach, Enhancement and Advocacy support for the students, teachers, parents and staff associated with the LWSD highly capable learning programs. We are focused on expanding educational opportunities for students through direct classroom support, and for parents through parenting classes, educational forums, and improved communications. We are also working to raise awareness of state and national gifted learning professional organizations and legislative issues. Check out a fabulous piece of research work on Highly Capable professional organizations, compiled by Raj Paul, our President-elect. GEAC Advocacy Document
Over the last 4 years, GEAC has contributed nearly $30,000 directly to QUEST classrooms, for teachers to use toward special projects, field trips, training, books, cameras, kits/materials/supplies, or other needs they have. Last school year, over $7,000 was made available to fund grant applications. These efforts are made possible only through the generous donation of time and dollars from our membership, with matching and grant support from local companies like Microsoft, Fred Meyer, and Boeing. Please consider joining us and helping further our children’s education. Enrollment Form.doc
