Santa Cruz Valley residents are needed
as literacy instructors for a "traveling classroom"
serving migrant farm worker families and other poor
persons in this area, according to John Arnold.
Arnold is coordinator for PPEP (Portable
Practical Educational Preparation), poverty war program
designed to bring educational opportunities and other
services to poor families in rural areas.
Arnold is seeking volunteers for an
18-hour Laubach Method literacy instructor course, designed
to produce more instructors for the program. Persons
interested in the course are asked to telephone him
at 624-3658 in Tucson or to write him at 2232 S. Campbell
Ave.
PPEP instruction courses are held at
7 p.m. each Wednesday at Continental School and at 7
p.m. each Thursday at Tubac Elementary School. PPEP's
portable school instruction bus also holds classes at
7 p.m. each Monday at St. Martin's Hall in Sahuarita,
as well as other classes near the Farmers Investment
Co. office in Sahuarita.
Classes cover citizenship, driver training,
health, sanitation, first aid and preparation for high
school equivalency tests.
Interested citizens are invited to monitor
the classes.
Frank Gomez and Mrs. Mary Dominquez
are part-time aides in Sahuarita. Mrs. Louise Moseby
holds a similar position in Continental, while Miss
Norma Figueroa is a part-time aide in Tubac.
Mrs. Berta Tellez assists Arnold as
a full-time social worker-aide.
