Lights on Afterschool – a national event to increase awareness of the importance of afterschool - is less than a month away! On Thursday, October 18th, afterschool programs across San Francisco and nationwide will be recognizing the vital role afterschool plays in the lives of children, families and communities.
Join us in a Citywide Lights On Afterschool Awareness
Campaign!
As part of this year’s Lights on Afterschool events, the San
Francisco Afterschool for All Initiative (AFA) will be sponsoring a citywide
awareness campaign to showcase how afterschool programs support working
families. AFA will be collecting short letters from family members of
afterschool program participants to send to elected officials and city leaders.
But we need your help!!
We have developed a light bulb template for parents/family
members to fill out here.The Afterschool for All effort is asking
that families in afterschool programs fill out the template and complete the
sentence, “My family counts on this afterschool program because…”
Please send in completed light bulbs by Oct 15th
to Jessie Mandle at DCYF via mail (1390 Market St, Suite 900, San
Francisco 94102), fax (554-8965), or scan them (jmandle@dcyf.org) so they can be part of
the citywide campaign and distributed to elected officials. The completed
light bulbs will help us build awareness around the importance of afterschool
programs citywide.
Thank you for all that
you’re doing to build enriching afterschool programs in San Francisco!
Deciding on the venue is very important decisions, because the venue has to fulfill lots of party requirements.
