SAY Opens Two New Preschools
SAY’s Extended Day unit is opening two new preschools this fall, doubling the number of preschools SAY has operated in the past two years. The two newest programs are at Bayview Terrace Elementary School in Pacific Beach and Language Academy in the College area. All four SAY preschool programs serve 3-5 years of age.

SAY's Extended Day Services currently offer 55 programs at 44 different schools, encompassing preschool through middle school. Approximagtely 4,000 students are expected to be enrolled during the 2011-2012 school year, in a combindation of fee-based and free programs operated in partnership with San Diego City Schools ("PrimeTime"). One of the largest providers in the County of before- and after-school services, SAY is excited to continue offering a broad range of quality child care options and enrichment opportunities, and wishes everyone a successful school year.

Serra Real Connections Wins Human Relations Award
The ELEVATED Student Relations Committee, a project of Serra Real Connections, received a first place award in the annual Unity in Action contest from the San Diego Regional Hate Crimes Coalition.  Serra Real Connections is a collaboration of SAY San Diego, Serra High School and other parent and community groups. 

The purpose of the award is to recognize programs in local schools that promote unity, diversity and/or tolerance.  The ELEVATED students organized campus wide activities that brought awareness about racial segregation and homophobia.
