[cheryl cumings]

This year, we have a partnership with Vision-Aid which will allow us to support 4 students who join us remotely. We are really excited about the Coding Camp and would love to let as many people as possible know about this opportunity.  If you can share the below announcement with your list, we are confident that many people will learn about this opportunity.

Thank you very much for your time and attention. I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Best,
