Spalding
Drive Charter Elementary School
Sandy Springs
Education Force is working with the principal of
Spalding Drive Charter to bring an after school
program to the school. Research has shown that there
is a direct correlation in participation in
extra-curricular activities and improved student
achievement. Students are motivated to participate
in an after school academic program that
incorporates a sports component.
The
goals of the program are to provide academic
enrichment for students to improve their reading
skills, to encourage participation in team sports
and foster a sense of teamwork. The program consists
of academic tutoring and enrichment for the first
hour targeted to improve the reading scores on the
CRCT. During the second hour, the students will be
taught basic soccer and lacrosse skills. The
administrators at the school will identify 34
students who would most benefit to participate in
this program. The program will be conducted one day
per week from 3:00 to 5:00 for 20 weeks over the
course of the school year.
Sandy Springs
Education Force is providing financial assistance to
the program which will be free of charge to the
students. In addition, SSEF is providing
administrative support to identify community coaches
for the sports component of the program
