Your kids have a Discord Handle?
Hello parents,
There has been some interests expressed to try and provide some way to connect our kids on a regular basis. We have tried to facilitate this before via our BRIGHTLinks Students WIX group, but this never really took off. My guess is, that there are significantly less options available in our "groups" features than our kids would like.

Hi Eric! We are in South Durham in the Woodlake community! My son, Indra, is 7. His interests are mainly engineering, robotics, coding, building kits, and he's been deep diving into magic recently (as in magic tricks, not the role playing card game). His only musical interest so far is beat boxing, lol. I can't speak to Durham Public Schools and how they handle gifted kids, but I can speak to homeschooling as that is all we've done with my son so far. I do know that if you have an autism diagnosis for your son, you would be qualified to receive money from the Disabilities Grant Program in NC if you can get an IEP from his school, even if you decide to homeschool!
