Prior Lake/Savage Chapter

We have set our meeting schedule for the school year and plan to include a number of more informal “coffee” meetings.  Please see our schedule for more details.  All are welcome at our meetings.

SPAN will not host any more meetings for the 2016-17 school year.  Please send us an email at span.priorlake@gmail.com if you would like to offer input as to topics for meetings for the next school year.  You can always email us with questions or concerns.

Meeting minutes and speakers’ handouts from our October and November meeting have been posted. Look for them under the Meeting Minutes tab. Also, if you did not receive a copy of the Critical Thinking workbook shared at the November meeting, you may download a copy here.

We are looking forward to the 2016-17 school year!  We are exploring various possibilities for subjects on which meetings will focus, including a panel of middle-school and high-school gifted students to share what they wish they knew earlier, a speaker on mindfulness, a meeting with the State gifted and talented coordinator, mental health issues in gifted kids, and executive function issues in gifted kids.  Synergy Family Night will be back, likely in October.  Stay tuned for details!

Thank you to everyone who made our 5th Annual Family Night a success! Some photos from the evening are on our Photos page.

We plan to host 5 meetings as well as a Synergy Family Night next year.  Meetings will focus on perfectionism, stress in gifted kids, mindset, how the needs of gifted kids are met in the Prior Lake/Savage school district, and subject/grade acceleration policies and procedures.  Check back in Fall 2015 for dates of meetings and the Family Night.  Email us to be placed on our email list or with questions/concerns.
