SSP 10K Team Raises over $2,500 for St. Andrews
The SSP Monument Avenue 10K team raised $2,520.71 for the children and families at St. Andrew's School, a tuition-free elementary school for 95 low-income students. This was our third year running for St. Andrew's and this year we had more runners and raised more money than ever before. Thank you to all our runners and those that supported them.
Perhaps, the most inspiring part of this story is that the Sportsbackers sponsored 20 St. Andrew's kids to race in the one mile children's run the morning of the 10K. Their parents came out and cheered them on, and a few even ran with them!
Not only does this demonstrate St. Andrew's commitment to teaching its students and their families to be healthy, but it also shows how the St. Stephen's team inspired the students to run as well. To view all the photos of St. Andrew's children running, go to:

Our School
- Our School2St. Stephen’s Preschool is founded on the following principles:
Choice
Young children grow and develop best intellectually when they can structure their own learning. Therefore, they are free to choose from a wide range of developmentally appropriate activities. Children are encouraged to ask their own questions and seek their own answers through exploration within a carefully structured setting.
Environment
Young children need a secure and loving environment for emotional and social growth. Therefore, teachers provide models of mutual respect and affection and make rules and expectations that are clear. Children are encouraged to express themselves through language — using “their words”.
Guidance
Young children learn to take responsibility for themselves as they are taught to read clues in their environment to help them make decisions. They learn that there are consequences to the choices they make and to the actions they take. Teachers help children learn to speak for themselves. At St. Stephen’s Preschool we know that a child’s social and emotional maturity is the best indicator of his/her future success in school.
