Hi everyone,

Just wanted to pass along information about a new class you or your high school friends could take on SATURDAYS from 10-2pm (and you'll receive Elective Class credit)!  The course focuses on LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Queer or Questioning) issues through literature, history, film, etc!

Want to know more? Keep reading!

************************************************************************************
We are pleased to announce that the course will meet on SATURDAYS, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m, beginning January 23 and continuing through May 29, not counting April 2, which is spring break.

The first class will be held at the SFUSD office building at 750 - 25th Avenue, between Cabrillo Street and Balboa Street in the Richmond District. (We are still negotiating for a more central location for subsequent class meetings.)

PLEASE EMAIL BACK TO:
petehammer0@gmail.com

to let him know if you will be attending the class. More than 30 students from almost every public high school in San Francisco have expressed interest in the course. They know that not everyone will be able to attend on Saturdays (they chose the time based on the results from the online survey), but they anticipate a great turnout.

Please continue to pass the word among your friends. Registration is still open; tell any interested students to email me if they would like to join the class. After they know exactly who is attending the class they will work with the counselors at each school to complete the registration process.
