Community Service Event at Bret Harte Elementary School

This Friday, BLSA will be hosting an outreach event at Bret Harte Elementary School. The purpose of this event is to spend time socializing with a group of students who can benefit from exposure to minorities pursuing higher education.

There are two PE classes scheduled for that day. One is from 12:45 to 1:30 pm and another from 1:45 to 2:30 pm. The plan is to interact with the students during these sessions. At 3:00 pm, students participate in Freestyle Fridays where they choose their own activities. Coach Duke, the PE instructor, has agreed to gather the students before this event so that we can introduce ourselves to the students and encourage them to pursue their education.

When: This Friday, September 24th, from 12:00 noon to no later than 3:30 pm.
Where: Bret Harte Elementary School, 1035 Gilman Ave., San Francisco, CA 94124
Directions: From SCU, take 101 North. Take exit 429B to merge onto 3rd street. Turn right at Gilman Ave.

Carpools will be meeting in the lot outside of Bannan at noon.

If you are interested in carpooling, contact our Community Service Coordinator, Jason De Barros, at jasondebarros@gmail.com.
