WINGS Classes in Council Bluffs 
April 21, 2012– 9 am to 12 pm & 1pm to 4pm

WINGSThe Belin-Blank Center is pleased to invite you to attend one (or more!) classes in our academic-year program: the Weekend INstitute for Gifted Students (WINGS). All students who have (1) participated in BESTS, (2) are a part of a talented and gifted program, or (3) have a unique ability in a particular subject area, are invited to attend. WINGS is designed for talented 3rd through 8th graders.

The course content is both invigorating and challenging, and is designed to stimulate the interest and curiosity of bright students. There are no formal qualifications required to participate in WINGS; however, students should be highly motivated to attend and be prepared for fast-paced, challenging work.

Classes will be held at Lewis Central High School in Council Bluffs on April 21, 2012.

There will also be WINGS classes held on other days at The University of Iowa (Blank Honors Center).


Attendance is limited to 18 students per class and classes are filled on a first-received, first-served basis (enrollment in some classes may be limited to fewer students). The cost is $65 per class. This fee covers the cost of instruction and all materials. Financial aid is available to those participating in the free-or-reduced lunch program at their school and will cover one-half the cost ($30 per class). Verification is required.
