Sandy Spring Friends School: 1961-2011

Celebrating 50 years of letting our lives speak!

The year-long celebration will include opportunities for outreach, discovery, connection, and reconnection. All community members - past and present, students, families, faculty, staff and friends - are welcome and encouraged to participate in the varied and enriching experiences woven throughout the year. It’s through these experiences, exploring the path Sandy Spring Friends School has taken through its 50 years, that we will see a clearer picture of the way forward into a unique and vibrant future.

Read letter from Patrick Bassett, NAIS President, congratulating SSFS on its 50th anniversary.
