It supports working families by offering dependable before and after care and engaging activities that promote learning, creativity, and social development. For many parents and caregivers, this program is not just convenient—it’s essential, helping to ensure their children are well cared for while they manage work and other responsibilities. Star Achievers plays a key role in strengthening our school community and enhancing the overall student experience at Shepherd Elementary!
Why join?
- Support our amazing scholars and staff
- Help develop engaging enrichment programming for scholars
- Build strong school-community connections
- Make a meaningful impact with other engaged board members
What’s involved?
Monthly virtual board meetings (usually no more than 1.5 hours long)
Occasional but minimal additional support required for staff recruitment and advocacy/ communications efforts with Shepherd's community stakeholders
2-year term minimum commitment preferred
We are looking for board candidates willing to lend their talents and expertise including graphic design, external communications, finance/accounting, or grant writing.
Interested? Please reach out to the SESSA board of directors to receive an application at sessaboard@gmail.com.
Currently, SESSA's board is made up of Shepherd Elementary alumni, parents, Shepherd community members and friends of the community. Parents/caregivers don't have to have a child enrolled in SESSA to join the board.
