Dear SC2C Community,
As we approach the end of the year, I am delighted to share some exciting updates and achievements from Stamford Cradle to Career (SC2C). It has been a year filled with progress, partnerships, and community empowerment.
1. Systems Change Status from StriveTogether:
I am thrilled to announce that Stamford Cradle to Career has been recognized with Systems Change Status from StriveTogether, our national supporting organization. This prestigious designation places SC2C among the top 16 communities in the country with this honor or higher. It reflects our collective dedication to creating positive, lasting change in the lives of our children and families.
2. Social Equity Grants Impact:
We are proud to celebrate the success of many community organizations that have received funding through the state of Connecticut's Social Equity Grants. SC2C is particularly gratified to have community voices actively involved in the decision-making process regarding how these funds are allocated within our community. This collaborative effort ensures that the resources reach those who need them most.
3. Recognition for Project Music:
A heartfelt congratulations to our valued community partner, Project Music, for their recent recognition by News 12 Connecticut. The community competition showcased the outstanding work this organization is doing with students and families in Stamford. We are proud to stand alongside Project Music and support their commitment to making a positive impact on our community.
4. Spotlight on Dolan and Rippowam Middle Schools:
The great work continues at Dolan and Rippowam Middle Schools through SC2C and the Full-Service Community Schools Grant. This month, we are actively engaging in focus groups with parents and students to gather insights on what would be most beneficial in their school communities. Your input is invaluable, and we appreciate your commitment to shaping the educational landscape for our youth.
As we approach the holiday season, I want to extend warm wishes to each member of our community. May this festive season bring joy, peace, and the opportunity to create lasting memories with loved ones. Thank you for your ongoing support, dedication, and collaboration. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of Stamford's children.
Warm regards,
Edith Presley
