Recycling gets tremendous hype, but what about the third R: Reuse? The faculty and staff parents of young children would like to conveniently reuse infant and children's items within our community, and we're hoping you'll get involved. If you have gently used items for children ages 0-6 that you're looking to clean out of your drawers, closets, or garages, we'd love to know. Simply email greenfamilies@sfds.net with a brief description of what you'd like to pass on and we'll connect you with a faculty or staff member who would love to use those items. In particular, we are currently looking for a child's art table, a train or car set with tracks and vehicles, clothes sizes 3 or 4, a training bicycle without pedals, an outdoor toddler basketball hoop (or other fun yard toys), a double breast pump, a changing table pad, bassinet sheets, baby blankets, and a swing (preferably plug in or with a/c adapter). Less really can be more!

Breakthrough SF Launches New Website
Breakthrough San Francisco's new website, located at www.breakthroughsf.org, launches today. We hope you’ll take a moment to explore the site and deepen your understanding of our work. Read the latest Breakthrough news; watch our students and teachers in action; and follow us on Facebook or Twitter. Our thanks to Advisory Board member Helen Chan and site developer Johan Mickelin for their many hours of work on this project!

Breakthrough SF Needs YOU!

Homestays - Breakthrough seeks one more homestay, from June 25 - July 11, for an out-of-town college student taking part in our summer teaching internship. The teacher can live with you and your family, or look after your home (including pets, plants, etc) if you will be out of town.

Career Day - Host a group of Breakthrough students for a few hours on Friday, July 9, as a way to expose them to future professional opportunities. Our students are highly motivated fifth and sixth graders who want to attend four-year colleges; high career aspirations will help ensure they get there. The suggested itinerary includes a tour, lunch, and a chance to interact with employees. We are seeking hosts in all fields.

For more information on either opportunity, please contact Andy at (415) 568-3661 or ashin@sfds.net.
