Greetings!


Exceptional Minds was on CBS News!  On July 12th and 13th, EM students and staff were featured on KCAL's Channel 2 and 9 news. Due to the amazing work of news reporter, Lisa Sigell, our booth at Stephanie's Day  had over 100 visitors and we've had to install a second phone line in our office.  Our fall program is now almost completely full and we look forward to a very successful new school year.  

 

Our summer workshops have been a blast!  Our students have created hilarious animated shorts, challenging video games and will soon explore the art of visual effects.
 
Be sure to check out our website to view the CBS segment and to take a look at some of the "exceptional" things going on at EM.
 
Sincerely,
Yudi Bennett & Ernie Merlan
