Special and Gifted Education (SAGE)

SAGE stands for “Special and Gifted Education;” our goal is to support a strong alliance between the caregivers and educators of diverse learners.  We hope to foster an inclusive community that celebrates and embraces the unique needs of children who learn differently through education, support, advocacy, and relationship building.
