Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotarians recently assisted young students of La Clase Magica with the planting of many vegetables outside their classroom.  The planting was for educational and beautification purposes, as well as for future eating.

This small project was done on a Wednesday afternoon in preparation for a more significant work project on Saturday, April 25th, during Rotary International’s world-wide “Rotarians at Work Day.  This project will include painting, repairs and additional furnishings to enhance the program’s effectiveness.  Non-Rotarians are invited to join Rotarians in this project.
 
La Clase Magica helps children and adults in under-served neighborhoods throughout San Diego.  It provides educational resources such as technology, fun curriculum, and college students to help children bridge many learning barriers that minority populations face in the 21st century.  Each site, such as the one in Solana Beach, provides an encouraging atmosphere and safe learning environment for a group of youngsters with big dreams.  These dreams can become reality through boosting their self-esteem, growing their knowledge, and improving their classroom comprehension.  For more information about La Clase Magica, see http://www.laclasemagica.com.
