The Advancement Office, located in Scott House, works to support our community and foster relationships between the School and parents, students, teachers, alumni, grandparents, trustees, and friends. “Advancement” involves all the work that helps to make Sandy Spring Friends School stronger: community relations, communication, alumni relations, fundraising, stewardship , and strategic planning for the future of SSFS. We support the Parents Association; organize events for parents, students, alumni, and friends; work closely with Admissions and Communications; and, yes, raise funds that underwrite the current and future needs of Sandy Spring Friends School (including the new Upper School building!).
