 December 2008PREFund launches Potrero Kids at Daniel Webster Preschoolby Dena FischerThe Potrero Residents Education Fund (PREFund) hosted a kick-off party at Daniel Webster Elementary School last month to celebrate the successful opening of Potrero Kids at Daniel Webster (PKDW). The Spanish bilingual school opened in September with 36 children – ranging from nine months to two years-old – a quarter of whom are being provided with scholarships. More than 100 guests attended the event, which showcased the renovated bungalows that house PKDW. Longtime Potrero Hill resident and former San Francisco mayor Art Agnos welcomed the guests, including Board of Education members Hydra Mendoza, who presented PREFund with a commendation from Mayor Newsom, and Rachel Norton, as well as San Francisco Unified School District Assistant Superintendent Linda Luevano. Special thanks was given to Potrero Hill-based Jackson Liles Architecture. |
