    Creating a Place of Belonging at SSFS

    academic spotlight

    SSFS is a place where students are seen, heard, and celebrated for who they are, and the contributions that they bring to the community. They are given a place where their talents are nurtured; where they are supported, challenged, and transformed; where their identity is allowed to blossom, and where, most importantly, they feel a sense of belonging.
