Life Frames, Inc. is pleased to announce a grant from Lauren Bon & The Metabolic Studio for the Branch Living Library & Think Park Programs at seven SFUSD schools in San Francisco, PreK-12. This generous grant enables A Living Library to work with over 1500 students monthly, year-round, during the school day, after school, and during the summer, in hands-on, interdisciplinary, standards-based learning, and ecological greening of their school and community.
The Branch Living Library & Think Parks supported by Metabolic Studio are:
OMI/Excelsior Living Library & Think Park in the Excelsior at Leadership High School, James Denman Middle School, San Miguel Child Development Center *
Bernal Heights Living Library & Think Park in Bernal Heights at Junipero Serra Elementary School, Junipero Serra Child Development Center *
Chinatown Living Library & Think Park at Gordon Lau ES and Commodore Stockton Child Development Center
The Metabolic Studio grant is a complement to the funding from the San Francisco Department of Children, Youth, and Their Families (DCYF), which has funded the Branch Living Library & Think Parks since 2002 for the After-School Programs.
We are very grateful to our funders ! Thank you !
* NOTE: The OMI/Excelsior Living Library & Think Park and the Bernal Heights Living Library & Think Park are both part of the Islais Creek Watershed, where Life Frames is also developing the Bernal Heights Living Library Nature Walk, linking schools, parks, public housing, streets, and other open spaces leading to currently hidden Islais Creek at the south side of St. Mary’s Park.
