1998 School Clean-up - San Diego Cares About Schools

We've all heard about the problems in California's K-12 classrooms and
often don't know where to begin. I invite you to spend part of
Saturday, June 6, 1998 making a real difference in San Diego's
schools. On June 6th, between 9:00 a.m. and 1 p.m. UCSD will field a
team of volunteers to participate in the "San Diego Cares About
Schools" 1998 School Clean-up. UCSD teams at Crawford High School and
Horace Mann Middle School will be part of an effort 10,000 individuals
strong at 167 public schools sweeping, mopping, landscaping and
cleaning windows, desks, and sinks. Imagine how surprised students
will be to return to a sparkling clean school on Monday.

This effort is organized under the auspices of the Greater San Diego
Chamber of Commerce Business Roundtable for Education and San Diego
Cares, Inc. and sponsored by Sandicast, Wells Fargo Bank, News Radio
600 KOGO and Cox Cable. It also enjoys the endorsement of School Board
President Ron Ottinger, Superintendent Alan Bersin, the San Diego
Teacher's Association, the California School Employees Association and
the San Diego Labor Council. Businesses and organizations all over San
Diego are participating, and this is yet another opportunity for UCSD
faculty, staff and students to demonstrate the university's commitment
to education.

Lunch is not provided, however, bottled water will be available.
Remember to dress accordingly.

If you would like to participate, please contact Sara Steinhoffer,
UCSD Governmental and Community Relations at 822-0142 before
May 29.
