Coconino Coalition for Children & Youth update for July 10 — United Way of Northern Arizona’s KinderCamp receives major contribution from Wells Fargo

Connections Spotlight

This year’s KinderCamp™ classes have just wrapped up, and the program got a terrific graduation present – a $20,000 donation from Wells Fargo.

“We understand the importance of investing in early childhood education for our local youth,” said Wells Fargo District Manager Misty Shepherd. “KinderCamp provides a bridge between each child’s individual early learning experience and the formal kindergarten program. Wells Fargo is proud to support the United Way and its partners in this summer ‘boot camp’ that ensures all students are ready on the first day of kindergarten.”

CCC alum sets sights on teaching in middle school

Even though she graduated from CCC last year, April Winters returned to take classes in American Sign Language (ASL), which are not offered at Northern Arizona University.

“Since I’m going to be a teacher, I thought it might come in handy if I happen to have a student who’s deaf,” April said, adding that her boyfriend works with adults with disabilities at two different jobs and knows ASL.
