Russ, It was a pleasure meeting you and your fellow SESF members at the TechTest survivors breakfast yesterday. We would just like to say that a big factor in Joe’s success is the high academic standards set by Seven Hills Middle School, and especially his math teacher Mr. Sharp. He is an exceptional educator, driving his students to the reach their highest potential — yet still having fun in the process! Combined with the great motivational tests and scholarships from SESF, Nevada County’s next generation of STEM students wiill be ready to tackle all of the world’s difficult scientific and economic problems with ease!
