In this time of limited resources for education, we are proud to be able to fully fund a variety of opportunities for local gifted, talented, and high achieving students in the public schools.

Maryn McKenna, author of Superbug joins Dawson Center students at the ATLAS Building on CU Boulder's campus, on Monday, June 28th at 10 AM. Maryn is the author of Superbug. Four students will be graphically recording the event. This program is free and open to the general public.

Working with peers of common ability and academic interests gives our students the ability to develop team building skills that will be critical to their future success.

Dawson Summer 2010 officially began on June 9th and will continue until July 9th in Lafayette, Colorado. In Las Vegas, the five-week program will begin on July 14th. Final presentations are scheduled for August 13th.

Our students are diverse in many ways, but they share a love of learning. A major part of what we do is help students build relationships and have fun with their peers.

Testing new models for teaching is one way that we hope to contribute to education. Our graphic curriculum, expands upon mind mapping and provides a valuable new resource for facilitating student groups.

Our students have been guests on a local national public radio show, presented at a professional conference, and launched a student to student green advocacy campaign. Not bad for a group that hasn't left middle school.

Learning requires both commitment and passion. Working with issues that affect their daily life and their future gives our students additional motivation to strive for the best.
