The tutors who have found their way to Avalon Continuation though our avid supporter, Sharefest, are making a profound difference in the paths many of our students will take though they may not realize it yet. Thank you for all you do and I know we will be celebrating many of our kids "Conquering the CAHSEE" this school year!

Today she shared a piece of art drawn by her class-mate. This young lady has so much talent. I am excited to see Sharefest bring out the talent in the students. As they influence one another. Great going Sharefest. I am truly blessed to have my daughter attend this summer. Thanks Again

I've read the first days blogs. From the counselors up to the directors and organizational staff, there doesn't appear to be a hierarchy of energy - everyone is emotionally on board to empty themselves for these kids. It seems this program has endowed tender people with a summer vehicle to effect a diverse group of kids and impact them in what is sure to be a transformative and memorable summer. I would send my child here; in fact, I wouldn't mind returning to that awkward but eyes-wide-open stage in my life just to experience a camp that this feels to be.

Keep up the "unmistakable" work.
