We at the Arizona Humanities Council are continually thrilled to hear about the work of the students and grateful for the support of their teachers and families, the Childsplay folks and the scholars. What a great team effort.

I'm definitely looking forward to the sharing on May 14th.

Are there other bloggers out there who want to share their experiences with the program? Blog on!
