It rained here today. It was just for a short while but it was enough to convince me that autumn has officially arrived. I'm pretty sure it is my friend Sarah's fault. She and her family arrived on Wednesday last week and left on Sunday morning. The entire time she was here she reveled in the blue skies and warm weather that we were experiencing. Since she is from Seattle, Washington she's had her fill of gray, rainy, chilly weather.
Several hours after we dropped them at the airport we found a pair of sunglasses that belonged to Sarah or Damon. I sent her a message about them and she said that I might as well hang on to them since they sure don't have any sunshine.
The great Reno weather is a draw for a lot of people. But my friends were here because their adorable and brilliant son was interviewing with the Davidson Academy. This school for profoundly gifted students is housed at the University of Nevada Reno. I'd heard of the Academy previously, but I learned so much more about it after visiting with my friends about their experience that I couldn't begin to adequately describe it. It addresses the academic, emotional, physical, and social needs of these phenomenally bright children. The requirements to get in are very strict and the school is not for everyone...but it is so wonderful to know that this great city has such an amazing offering.
So while Sarah may have left me with some gray skies and rain, she also left me with the warm memories of time spent with good friends and information about a school that, for those who qualify, is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. If you think you know of a child that could benefit from this program, give me a call and I'll share with you what I know.
