Ibarra is a Polling Station!

If you have a mail-in ballot that you are wanting to drop off, drop it off at Ibarra right before you tutor! Parking might be a bit tighter this Tuesday- and look for the signs because we WON'T BE ENTERING THROUGH THE AUDITORIUM. We will go through the iron gates to the right of the auditorium (polling stations in the auditorium). 

Thanks for joining us--we have had some GREAT nights lately! Every student has had their own tutor for the past few sessions!! This is wonderful news!


Register and then RSVP NOW !

Fundraiser for Burmese Refugees...

Karen Organization of San Diego is a fantastic organization that many of our students receive services from. This event is on Monday, Nov. 14th, from 6-8pm. Click here for tickets! Craft beer, tostadas, and more! Kids under 12 are free!

Turkey Time is Coming!

It's that time of year! We get to introduce our new American friends to the joy of pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes and turkey (and stuffing, for the brave souls!). Please mark your calendars and plan to bring your whole family! This year, SDRT Thanksgiving will be on Tuesday, November 22nd, from 5-6:30pm in the Ibarra Auditorium. This is a WHOLE FAMILY event. This is our eighth year of hosting the largest Thanksgiving dinner you ever did see. It's a very special meal in which we all sit down together at the same table and enjoy a meal side by side. This is not a service event-- it is a time to get to know each other, share a meal and welcome our newly arrived American neighbors. We hope you will sign up to bring something, bring your spouse, kids, roommate, friends, and grandparents. It's always a blast. We will have plenty of organized activities for the kids.

Please contact melissa@sdrefugeetutoring.com if you would like to bring a craft for one of our stations! 

PLEASE ALSO RSVP if you plan to come to our Thanksgiving Meal so we can plan for you! 

Holiday Gifts Up Ahead...

In case you are thinking ahead, we have two gifts planned for the children for the holidays. If you are out and about and would like to contribute, our kids will love it! We would like to give each child new or gently used books and a new pair of shoes. We will accept donations at any time from now until the distribution on Tuesday, December 13th, during tutoring.

IMPORTANT: For books, please get  mostly easy readers as many of our kids are barely learning letters and numbers. For shoes, we are asking for gift cards to Payless Shoe Source as there is one in City Heights in case sizes need to be swapped. Or, you can also bring money for shoes and give it to a lead teacher. If anyone loves to shop or is very organized and would like to help out with this project, please email melissa@sdrefugeetutoring.com.

Pizza for Refugees...

Blind Lady Ale House is still giving us 20% of all of their meatless pizzas sold on MEATLESS MONDAYS through the end of 2016!! Please stop by and support San Diego Refugee Tutoring!
3416 Adams Ave. Open 5pm-12am!
