Subject: Aim High summer program- job openings
Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2005 17:06:55 -0800

I am a co-director at one of the sites of Aim High, a free summer
program serving underprivileged middle schoolers in the Bay Area. The
program includes a half day of teaching (3 classes) and an afternoon of
camp-like fun (arts and crafts, field trips to local beaches, etc) and
a lot of celebration of cultural diversity. Please check out the
website www.aimhigh.org to learn more. At my site, Lick-Wilmerding
High school, we have openings for math, science and computer head
teachers and interns. The program goes from June 20-July 29th and pays
decently. Please email me: carriemaslow@pacbell.net if you are
interested in a summer position.
