Nov 7Thank you to Haverty’s Furniture, David Weekly Homes, Mt.Vernon Presbyterian Church and Azurity Pharmaceuticals for hosting school supply drives for the Teacher’s Supply Closet, and to Target for donating supplies. The Teacher's Supply Closet, a collaboration of Sandy Springs Education Force and the Community Assistance Center, is a resource for Sandy Springs public-school teachers. Teachers may request classroom supplies required for their students to help fill gaps throughout the school year. This program prevents teachers from spending their own time and money to make sure students have the supplies they need to learn.

About
WHAT WE DO SSEF designs and implements free supplemental programs to engage, support and encourage our economically disadvantaged public school students to excel academically, finish high school and then continue to a vocation or to college. While SSEF sponsored programs are focused on the economically disadvantaged student, SSEF does not discriminate; any student may participate.
Fulton County Schools recognized Sandy Springs Education Force (SSEF) as their 2025 Legacy of Excellence Partner of the Year. In presenting the recognition, Franchesca Warren, Vice President of the Fulton County Board of Education, remarked, “This year’s Legacy of Excellence Partner of the Year exemplifies what it means to lead with purpose and heart. From collaboration to innovation, this organization is a driving force for students and teachers across Learning Zone 4. With 18 programs supporting 10 schools, Sandy Springs Education Force begins every partnership with one question: ‘What do you need?’ From their Summer Book Club that helps students stay on track with reading to their High Demand Career Fair connecting graduates with employers like Northside Hospital and Emory, and their Teacher’s Supply Closet that equips classrooms with essential materials…their impact is undeniable.”
