We, unfortunately, have to cancel our Back to School Summer Social and want to plan with an abundance of caution considering the Tropical Storm Warning in place in San Diego County this weekend. The beach is likely not your ideal destination during a tropical storm warning.

We hope you and your loved ones are safe and dry this weekend and look forward to rescheduling!

As summer winds down and a new school year approaches, let's come together to celebrate, connect, and recharge at our Back-to-School Summer Social! This is a fantastic chance to unwind, share experiences, and gather inspiration for the upcoming school year. We can't wait to see you there!
TFA will provide light snacks and refreshments, games and music. Don't forget to bring your beach towel or chair, sunscreen and any additional snacks or beverages. This is a family and pet friendly event. RSVP link in bio!

We are excited to share Dr. Randy Ward's piece published by EdCal today on the importance of prioritizing recruiting and retaining teachers of color.

Prioritizing recruiting and retaining teachers of color While research shows that students of color benefit from having a teacher of the same race, that’s hard to achieve if most teachers are white, and most students are not.

Our 10 Year Impact report is LIVE on our website! Check it out at www.tfasandiego.org/aboutus.
