Immigration stories & 1.5 million breakfasts: Highlights for March 7 – 13, 2017 Link to this section
Students at James Lick Middle School, with the help of their music teacher Keith Carames, have created an original musical revue about immigration. “Just in Case” revolves around a Latino, Jewish and Syrian family, and the play explores fears of emigrating to the U.S., the rewards some find here, and the trauma of being forced to flee a war. As part of the production, students will “break the fourth wall” and tell the audience the story of their own—not their characters’— families’ immigration to America. The production includes songs from the American Musical Theatre Repertoire.
When: Tuesday, March 7 / dress rehearsal / 5:00 -5:45 p.m.
Where: James Lick MS / 1220 Noe St.

In all, SFUSD serves almost 1.5 million breakfasts each year.
When: Call for details.
