> social justice education program for Greater Boston high school students.
> SJS brings together a diverse group of students from communities such as
> Newton, Brookline, Jamaica Plain, Needham and Cambridge to learn about
> social justice issues (examples include racism, classism, sexism, the
> environment, housing, education, etc.), connect with existing social justice
> groups and create community-based organizing projects. Past SJS participants
> include NNHS alums David Kates ('07), Allie Kayhart ('08) and Elena Swartz
> ('07 - she will also be on staff this summer.)

> Needham, JP and in a coalition of private schools. Currently we're in the
> process of recruiting for SJS '09, and one of the target communities is
> Newton. We've been asking teachers and other community leaders to identify
> young people who they think would be a good fit for our program. This means
> specifically asking 4 or 5 students to check out the program and fill out an
> application, if interested. This summer we're trying to get as many freshman
> and sophomores in the program, so if you're in contact with either of those
> age groups, that would be great.

> Mr.Bassett, and Mr. Goddard, so if you have any questions about the group,
> they could tell you a little more.
