Samba for Students of Social Justice
The Cesar Chavez Public Policy High School was founded to teach young people how to influence public policies that affect their communities, in an effort make this country a better place. The school, which opened in September 1998, is free, open to all District students and represents the diversity of Washington, DC.
The Chavez school relies on the generosity of committed volunteers, donors, mentors and supporters to help create a true culture of learning. For more information about volunteer opportunities at the school, click here.
A group of Chavez students are traveling to Brazil this year, and they need your help. A carnaval party will be held to benefit the Brazil Student Ambassador Exchange at Chief Ike’s Mambo Room, 1825 Columbia Rd. NW, on Wednesday, Feb. 26, at 8 p.m. Come enjoy free samba lessons, followed by more dancing and a raffle. The suggested donation is $15 and includes one free beverage of your choice. RSVP to Susan Flora 202/387-6980, ext. 13.
