Greetings!

Breaking News!!!  All five of our Ambassador students - Danny, Patrick, Lloyd, Eli and Christopher - have achieved ACA (Adobe) certification in Flash.  Thanks to Josh Dagg and Susan Zwerman for guiding our students through this rigorous process.  Each student received his certificate and a VES scholarship at our Back To School Night celebration last week.   

 

Congratulations to all and many thanks to our friends at Adobe and the Visual Effects Society for their continued support.  Our thanks also to Mayi Brady, Wendy Benoist and Mollie Burns-Keith for the delicious refreshments.    

 

Now back to our computers! 

 

Sincerely,
Yudi Bennett & Ernie Merlan
