[Hidden-tech] Social Justice Business

[Shel Horowitz]

Kirsten, I have a LOT of expertise in this area. Let's find a time to have
coffee or a phone call and see how I can help your students. Give me a call
tomorrow or Tuesday, 586-2388.

BTW, my kids are both alums of PVPA, when Bob and Ljuba were there--and my
daughter was actually at Hilltown Charter the year Bob was the
administrator (this is going WAAAAY back), before PVPA existed. I'd be
curious to see the Friere school.
