The San Dieguito High School Academy Community Rummage Sale, sponsored by the San Dieguito Academy Foundation, will take place on Saturday, May 31, 2014, from 7a.m. to noon in front of the SDA Performing Arts Center Amphitheater, just a few blocks east of I-5 on Santa Fe Drive.
SDA student clubs, athletic teams, and councils will staff “spaces” in a fun “swap-meet” environment, ensuring a wide selection of clothing, tools, antiques, collectables, sporting goods, and much, much more.
“Our rummage sales over the past two years have been very popular, and we once again welcome the SDA community and our neighbors for a fun day of bargain-shopping,” said Foundation President Pat Mock. “Proceeds will be used to support our students, their clubs, teams and extracurricular programs.”

A unique feature this year will be a partnership with Ripple Textile Recycling, a San Diego-based business that collects unwanted clothes and other household textiles (regardless of condition) for reuse or recycling.
By diverting textiles from landfills, Ripple provides affordable clothing and other household items to those in need, and also provides a needed commodity to be converted into new products. The SDA Foundation will also benefit by getting a percentage of every pound collected.
