🌳🌱 A big shoutout to the Leon County Farm Bureau for their incredible support of our "Roots for Our Future" campaign! 🌱🌳 The School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) is celebrating 32 years of excellence in education, and we're planting new roots for our future. With 24 years at our Thomasville Road campus and 8 years at our Centre of Tallahassee campus, we're aiming to plant a minimum of 32 trees, each representing a year of learning at SAS.
As a public charter school, SAS relies on charitable giving to supplement our state funding, and we're so grateful for the generosity of organizations like the Leon County Farm Bureau. Your support will help cultivate the next generation of curious minds who will change the world. 🌍
Save the date for our Founder's Day Celebration on Sunday, April 30, 2023, from 4 to 6 PM at SAST, where we'll be planting the trees and celebrating Arbor Day weekend. Join us for an afternoon of fun, learning, and celebration!
