A great start to the school year in Chatham County!

Georgia Appleseed joined Migrant Equity and other community organizations at the Chatham County Back to School Event to connect families with school supplies, information, and resources. Fatima Santillan distributed more than 100 school supplies and spoke with parents and students about their rights in school discipline hearings. Families deserve clear, accessible information about their rights—especially in the language they know best. As Chatham County’s Hispanic and Latino communities grow, we remain committed to making our resources more accessible and strengthening connections with families across cultures. Thank you, Migrant Equity, for hosting such a meaningful event and welcoming us into the community. #GeorgiaAppleseed #SchoolJustice #ChathamCounty #BackToSchool #StudentRights
