project
Dates: 10th, 17th,

The Preuss School, located on the
University of California San Diego (UCSD) campus in La Jolla, California, is a
charter middle and high school dedicated to providing a rigorous college prep
education for motivated low-income students who will become the first in their
families to graduate from college. Preuss has classes from 6th grade to 12th
grade and the classes meet from 9am to 4pm M-F and 9-11am on
Saturdays. Volunteer tutors usually come in for an hour and a half, twice
a week (Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday).
To become a volunteer tutor email Lisa Sugimori at lsugimor@gmail.com for the volunteer
application and she will set up your orientation. Volunteers need to
provide a proof of TB test result that is no more than 60 days old. If you have
it, bring a copy of the results to the orientation. TB tests can be obtained at
UCSD student health. Additionally, you will need to provide a copy of a
government issued photo identification (driver’s license, passport, military
identification, US or other government identification). (Student identification
cards do no satisfy this requirement.)
UCSD PASS RELAY FOR LIFE
Coordinator: Mala Dorai (mdorai@ucsd.edu)
Saturday, April 10th, 10:00am – 9:00am
HEY GUYS: SAT APRIL 10 IS RELAY FOR
LIFE at UCSD!
This is super exciting because Relay for Life is an absolutely amazing amazing
event that is held right here on our campus every year. I have been affected by
cancer greatly, and i know almost all of you have as well. So come out and walk
for cancer, share stories about cancer, and support those who are
fighting/fought cancer. Here's a blurb from the website:
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives
everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of
people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back
against the disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school,
park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path.
Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during
the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24
hours in length.
SO COME OUT AND JOIN THE UCSD PASS RELAY FOR LIFE TEAM.
We will have a tent there - and I want there to be PASS members representing
ALL NIGHT. I know I'm going to be there because I'm supporting the PASS team as
well as another team. It's really fun; we'll have tons of games and activities
going on and even if you just want come for an hour - please come. If you could
fundraise money that would be so great.
I WILL BE POSTING UP OUR TEAM's LINK - so PLZ REGISTER THERE. It'll be up by
tonight hopefully. Keep checking. Make sure you email me if you're interested -
so I can email you to remind you to register.
OK THANKS GUYS! SEE YOU SOON!
