We need your help! Support NM teachers to learn to teach CS.

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

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