Support Summer Camp Scholarships!
A generous donor is supporting our summer camp scholarships with a $500 gift! We are 50% there. Help us get to our $1,000 May goal! Our community’s need
for free and discounted summer enrichment programs for children of all ages is undeniable. There is no question that summer learning
loss is occurring each year and contributing significantly to students' struggle to achieve in school. Experts estimate that summer learning loss contributes to the national achievement gap putting low-income students as much as three years behind by the fifth grade. According to Horizons National, a leading nonprofit working to address this issue, students caught in the achievement gap are six times more likely to drop out of high school and have a 51% chance of being unemployed. SFSAS' summer camps are designed to capitalize on discovering new abilities and deepening interests. They are led by teachers who are highly skilled and passionate about the topics they are teaching. Give a donation today to help send a child to camp. EVERY donation makes an impact! $25, $50 or $100 goes a long way to helping a child have a fun summer learning experience!

Grant Supports School Greenhouse
Congratulations to Suzanne and Aurora! They received a $1,000 grant for a small greenhouse from the Farm to School Educational Activities program.
The grant request explains:
"This will allow the students to compost and grow food year round. The investment of a greenhouse will extend the learning about horticulture year round for students now and in the future. The school already has a garden, chicken coop, a worm bin and a bee hive, and the greenhouse will help to optimize the learning in our "classroom outside."
