Dear CS education supporter and friend of Project GUTS, GUTS y GIrls, and
NM-CSforALL,

I'm writing to you because you've generously helped me support and prepare
NM teachers and students in the past (with your time and efforts).

This time I'm writing to ask you for money!  I've been cheering Paige
Prescott and CSTA-NM on while they make a big push to prepare NM teachers
to offer CS activities and classes within communities through out New
Mexico.  She has been VERY successful in recruiting teachers to attend a
one week NM CS PD Week planned for June 4-8, 2018 in Albuquerque.

There are now over 200 teacher applicants with many of the teachers hailing
from communities we have not been able to reach in the past!  The waiting
list includes teachers from Alamogordo Public Schools, Belen Consolidated,
Gallup McKinley County Schools, Rio Rancho Public Schools, Texico Municipal
Schools, Zuni Public School District, Moriarty Edgewood School District,
Taos Municipal, Roswell ISD, Aztec NM, and Gadsden independent school
district.

The original 120 slots have been filled and we are fundraising now to be
able to accommodate the 80 additional applicants.  If you'd like to support
a teacher to attend NM CS PD Week, please make a donation (in any amount) at

    https://www.gofundme.com/NMCSforTeachers

Best, (and please feel free to circulate this with others who might be in a
position to help support a teacher,)
