SSEF

Overview & Mission

The Sarah Smith Education Foundation
Supporting Every Classroom and Every Child


Our Mission
The Sarah Smith Education Foundation is a not-for-profit fundraising organization supporting the school’s pursuit of excellence in education. The funds we raise enrich the learning environment available to every classroom and every child at Sarah Smith Elementary. The generosity of our supporters allows us to offer a curriculum not available at any other public elementary school in Atlanta.

Investing in Education
Ten years ago, our administration dreamed of Sarah Smith becoming the world-class school that it is today.  But in times of economic short falls, APS funding of curriculum is not always consistent. A gap existed between their vision and reality.  In 2005, the SSEF was founded to give our school the ability to raise funds to reach longer-term academic goals. Over the years, support of the SSEF has grown and our students are reaping the benefits.  With the generous support of our parents and community, in 2012-2013 the SSEF will spend just over $255,000 on curriculum and programs that make our school great.  Please take a moment and check out the Curriculum Narrative.  It is a comprehensive list of all programs that will receive funding in 2012-13.
