| The mission of EPCGT is "to promote awareness of the unique needs of gifted children and to support educational and social opportunities to meet those needs." |
Welcome! We're glad you're here!
You've reached the site of the Eden Prairie chapter of the Minnesota Council for the Gifted and Talented. We are parents who actively seek ways to help gifted children thrive, to promote educational rigor, and to support families, teachers and community. We are open to all - identified as gifted or not, Eden Prairie schools or not - and we would be happy to have you join us!
Our board meetings are generally held the first Friday of each month and begin at 9:30 a.m. with a topic of discussion that lasts approximately 1 hour before we start the business meeting. Please join us! See Meetings for more details.

Chess & Chat
When: 2nd & 4th Tuesday each month during the school year *
Time: 6:30-8:00PM
Where: Barnes & Noble cafe, Eden Prairie Center
Cost: FREE
Age: kindergarten to senior citizens!
Everyone is welcome to stop by the Eden Prairie Center Barnes & Noble Cafe for a
casual game of chess (or checkers); students and their parents will find this a
terrific way to connect with other like-minded peers.
Bring your chess set and be prepared to have fun playing one, two or three games
with others! This is a great time for parents that would like to chat with other
EPCGT members and also meet up and share ideas.
The Barnes & Noble Cafe has delicious sandwiches, desserts, and warm & cold
drinks for those that arrive hungry.
* NOTE: Chess & Chat will not officially have any EPCGT
representatives attending during the
summer months (June-Sept.) although the community is encouraged to stop by
and play on their own! * * * * * * * * *
