Breakthrough Santa Fe is seeking donations of several items for the summer 2007 session.  On the wish list are 25 disposable cameras, 8-10 mountain bikes (donated for the summer only) that teachers can use for transportation, and a binding machine to make daily planners for students.  Anyone able to help should contact , Breakthrough Santa Fe director.

This summer Justin Hilderbrandt (pictured at far right) becomes the first Breakthrough Santa Fe student to become a summer teacher.  Justin is currently a freshman at Santa Fe High School and has been with Breakthrough since 2004.  After completing his two summer sessions, Justin participated in Breakthrough as a summer intern, working closely with teachers to learn important classroom methodology and co-teaching several math lessons to gain hands-on experience.

“Teaching at Breakthrough has been a dream of mine ever since I stepped off the bus on the first day of the program, and I am looking to accomplish this dream of mine,” said Hilderbrandt.
