  JUNE ISSUE!
   JUNE 28, 2016 - Vol. 48           

   
June is always an amazing month at Exceptional Minds...excitement everywhere as we proudly share our accomplishments at our Industry Open House, Graduation, and Year-End Celebrations. We are so proud of our ten new graduates!
 
This year, we were honored to have Victoria Alonso of Marvel Studios present the fourth "Ed Asner Award" to Holly Schiffer from HBO for her exceptional commitment to EM. At graduation, we recognized Corinne Nevinny and Dr. Ricki Robinson as our "Exceptional Heroes" for their long-time support of our programs. We are grateful to Sam Nicholson of Stargate Studios for his inspiring opening remarks and Richard Gasparian from The Simpsons for his warm and wonderful commencement address.
 
Summer Workshops are off to an exceptional start and run through August. We have added many new classes and look forward to an exciting summer. Don't forget to call us and reserve a spot in your favorite class.
 
Our sincere thanks to everyone who attended and helped with our Open House, Graduation, and Year-end Celebrations! It was an honor and a delight to share our work with you.
 
With Exceptional Gratitude to all,

Yudi Bennett & Ernie Merl�n
