SAN DIEGO TEACHER OF THE YEAR JOINS COMMUNITY
FOR COUNTY'S LARGEST RUMMAGE SALE
The San Diego County Teacher of the Year will join local community groups,
churches and individuals from across North County to host one of the largest
community-wide yard sales in San Diego on Saturday, May 21, 2011 at Abraxas
High School, located at 12450 Glen Oak Road, Poway, CA 92064.
Former Abraxas student Shaylene Watkins was recently named San Diego
County Teacher of the Year and will hold her title until this October. "Abraxas
saved my life and opened doors to my future," says Watkins. "Abraxas showed
me I could take control of my educational path despite not having a typical home
life situation or financial support."
The public is asked to drop off donations of gently used, quality home items at
the Abraxas parking lot on Saturday April 30, Saturday May 7, and Saturday May 14th from 10 a.m. - 2p.m. Items will be available for sale on Saturday, May 21st from 9 a.m. - 2p.m. Proceeds from the sale will benefit student services at Abraxas, as the school receives no funding for outside activities such as sports, music or prom.
Abraxas High School is an alternative high school that serves challenged youths
who are at risk of not receiving their high school diploma.
