Dear CSUS Parents and Caregivers,

Last Saturday night 100 CSUS supporters (parents, caregivers and staff) gathered at La Fabrica restaurant to continue our NYC fundraising drive at an exquisite wine-tasting event. Besides the perfect ambience we were entertained by the CRLS a cappella group Pitches and Dos, and CSUS staff members Steve Mossberg and Edson Soares. The tally is still coming in and we know it will be well over $1000.00. Thank you all for another CSUS success!

Below is the link to the video “An Evening with Cornel West” at CSUS. If you were there, enjoy the memories! If you couldn’t attend, you’re in for a treat. Enjoy! Many thanks to Leonie and Greg Marinovich for this professional documentation of a wonderful evening. Read more >>



Math is Just Hard These Days Workshop
May 18 | 11AM - 1PM
Many Out-of-School-Time Providers and parents have expressed difficulty in helping young people with math homework - things are taught differently now, and it's probably been a while since your most recent algebra class. This workshop was created with Cambridge Public Schools to help get folks on the same page about the math curriculum in Cambridge schools (grades 4-8). It is a FREE, two hour workshop located at Frisoli Youth Center, 61 Willow St. 
Facilitated by Kathryn Williams, CPS district math coach.
