Connie:

As a Christmas gift to myself, I would like to contribute $500 to supply Ms. Campia’s computer classes with everything on their wish list for the FY 2008-2009 (including lanyards for ID badges).  She is one of the most amazing teachers and role models I have ever met in academia.  Both the students and the parents are very fortunate to have her in their midst.  She’s also a wonderful, warm, down to earth person I am very happy to have known while active in parent activities at BLA. 

Best wishes,
Leslie Cook
(parent of Kerry Molloy ‘06)
