World Languages and SRHS support the Tijuana Dump School

Once again, the World Languages Department along with the SRHS ASB provided Christmas gifts for the students at the Tijuana Dump School.  This school, which serves impoverished children whose parents make a living collecting and selling items found in Tijuana's municipal dump, was established in the 1980's through the efforts of David Lynch, a former New York Special Education teacher.  This year, SRHS achieved a new record by playing Santa Claus to over 160 Mexican students.  Mr. McVeigh, who organized this year's drive, called it a great success as his classroom quickly filled up waist-high with bags of gifts.  ¡Feliz Navidad!
