August 2015 in the IEA Community

August 31, 2015

We love celebrating the highlights and accomplishments of the IEA community. We wanted to take the opportunity to showcase this amazing community and what you have done over the past month so that we can all celebrate together.

Even as summer wound down and IEA programs came to a close, August was a month of fun and community. Take a look at some of the highlights, in further detail below the video:

After eight days of community and balance, Yunasa campers sadly said farewell to friends both new and old as camp concluded at the beginning of the month. Read highlights from this year’s Yunasa camps.

A Message to our community

We are deeply heartbroken by the devastating fires impacting so many friends, families, and staff in Southern California. The health and safety of our community remain our top priority.

While our offices are outside of the evacuation zone, staff will be working remotely through Wednesday, January 15 as we continue to monitor the situation. We are staying in touch with staff and families affected by these fires.

We sincerely appreciate your support during this challenging time. If you need to reach us, please email us at IEAGifted@educationaladvancement.org.

Thank you for your understanding and care. We’ll provide additional updates soon.
