Sarah,

Wow, this looks great!! I wish I were the right age so I could participate. 

We met a couple years ago while I was still working at the Marble Charter School. I have now started my own nonprofit that I believe would benefit yours. It's called The Serious Type, which will be officially launching in a week or so. Are you available to meet sometime this summer, hopefully sooner than later, to catch up? Thanks for your consideration. 

All the best,
Nikki
