Sandy Springs has high achieving students and award winning public schools. However, almost 60% of our public school students are economically disadvantaged.
Poor children are 7 times more likely to drop out of school than their wealthy counterparts. Last year, over 140 Sandy Springs seniors (20%) did not graduate high school.
Imagine how much more our schools and our students could accomplish if every child had the resources to overcome obstacles and reach their potential? SSEF provides collaborative programs to bridge the gap between student needs and academic achievement. You can help!
SSEF implements programs with a "whole student" focus: providing each individual with the opportunity to explore and develop new skills and interests that enriches daily life and supports future achievement and success.
Mark your calendar for October 13th for this certified Peachtree qualifier 10K & 5K, followed by an exciting FREE Literacy Event that will be fun for the entire family!
Proceeds will support literacy programs in Sandy Springs public schools.
