The Gifted and Talented Organization of Rockwall (GATOR) is excited to support the youth of Rockwall County and would like your assistance. GATOR is an independent non-profit organization formed to support the RISD Selected Academically Gauged Education (SAGE) program (more about SAGE here).
Among our organizational goals:
-
To support SAGE activities, field trips, performances, etc.
-
To encourage a high level of achievement for the SAGE program and its members.
-
To assist with learning experiences that support the Gifted and Talented students’ social, emotional, and intellectual needs.
-
To provide a community of support between parents, students, and staff in an atmosphere of mutual cooperation and respect.
We have identified the following specific targets for CY 2021:
- Expand SAGE English program into freshman year, which requires teacher development and training.
- Create a scholarship program for former Gifted and Talented members advancing to college.
- Develop partnerships with companies and organizations using emerging technologies and business practices to create inspiring growth opportunities for the students.

100% of all donations will go towards educators and students. (Tax ID Number (EIN) 84-4387694)
