JUNE 2010
From the President’s Desk
Dear Friends,
Summer is just around the corner, and students
(and their teachers) are anxiously awaiting
their last day of school.
The 2009-10 school year was a busy one for
our Education Department. 170 students com-
peted in Scholastic Scrimmage, over 1,200
students and their guardians took part in the
Raising Readers literacy program, and the
eLearning for Educators program served nearly
600 teachers – more than twice as many as the
year before!
A special thank you to all of our hardworking
facilitators and educational partners!
As summer begins so does a series of new
programs that are sure to warm the heart and
tantalize your senses.
I am personally looking forward to a new spe-
cial featuring two of my favorite musicians,
Carole King and James Taylor, as they cele-
brate the 50th Anniversary of Los Angeles’s
famed Troubadour nightclub.
June also marks the start of season 8 of
History Detectives! America's top gumshoes
are back to prove once again that an object
found in an attic or backyard might be anything
but ordinary.
Thank you for your continued support, and
best wishes for a wonderful June.
Patricia C. Simon
President & CEO, PBS39
