Everything on a Waffle is a Newberry Honor Book that tells the story of Primrose Squarp, an 11-year-old girl living in a small town in British Columbia. When her parents disappear at sea during a storm, Primrose is convinced that they are still alive and stranded somewhere, but everyone else in town is sure that they are dead. The novel, told in the first person, focuses on Primrose’s life in the months after her parents’ disappearance. She moves from the home of a local babysitter to live with her energetic Uncle Jack and then to a foster home, finding friendship and insight about human nature through her observations and conversations with such colorful characters as the local restaurant owner who serves every meal on a waffle.
COLLEGE OF WILLIAM & MARY
The Center for Gifted Education (CFGE) at William & Mary University (College of William & Mary), is a research and development center providing services to educators, policy makers, graduate students, researchers, and parents in support of the needs of gifted and talented individuals. Located in Williamsburg, Virginia, the CFGE has established an international reputation for excellence in research, curriculum development, and service. Several major grants, including funding from the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act, have provided significant support for the work of the Center. In 2012, the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation awarded CFGE the funds needed for a summer residential camp for low income, high-ability children, for four consecutive years. In 2015, William & Mary alumni, Mike and Nancy Petters, through the Petters Family Foundation, provided additional financial support to the program. In 2016, the Petters Family Foundation has committed to fully fund the program for the next four years. Camp Launch is only the beginning of the Center for Gifted Education’s goal to bring educational equality to all gifted students.
