Dear Friends and Educators,

This newsletter shares MY HERO's journey into classrooms around the world.

We continue to promote media arts education, literacy and positive role models through our ongoing contests.

As you review these highlights, please consider ways to bring MY HERO resources to students, and classrooms, in your community.

Warmest regards,

Laura Nietzer
