Friends Day - SSFS

One of SSFS's core values is "community," and ours grows each year, with new families joining returning families and friends to build upon traditions and make SSFS an even more vibrant place to learn, work, play, and support one other. In addition to SSFS Back-to-School Nights and Coffee & Conversations, the Parents Association's Friends Day offers a great opportunity for parents/guardians, students, and faculty-staff to connect, learn, and have fun together.
