Local Business and Organizations |
| |
The Solidarity School partners with local
businesses and organizations of the greater Atlanta community
to enable students to be exposed to adults in their community
who promote a better future. Adopting the motto, "If you
make an impression on a child and that changes him for the
better, for a lifetime, there is no way to quantify the
benefits." Investing in the academic success of students
provides benefits to society; however, adult role models are
crucial to the development of a successful transition into
society. The school is grateful to the many businesses and
organization who continue to visit. Recent examples include
the Sandy Springs Police Department & Sandy Springs Fire
Department - health and safety; PetSmart - Birds,
Reptiles, & Mammals; and Kaiser-Permanente - traveling
programs such as "Mumferd’s Safety Tale" & "Give Peas a
Chance. |

Support for
Families
Centro Catolico
-
Located within the parish borders of Holy Spirit
Catholic Church, the Catholic Center of the Spirit Santo was
established in March of the year 2000 by the to serve the Hispanic
community of Sandy Springs. The mission brings the Catholic faith to
all in the Hispanic community, providing means to know, to love and to
serve God. The Catholic Center attends to those people who are far
from their mother country, providing them assistance that allows each
to integrate themselves into the American culture and live their faith
within a community united under the Holy Spirit and the intercession
on our Holy Mother, the Virgin of Guadalupe. This Catholic mission
strives to satisfy the spiritual needs of the community with Mass
being provided every Sunday, confessions, and religious education for
children and adults. A newly formed day labor center has just opened
and plans for a health clinic are being finalized with services
available to the mission community within the next six months. As an
organization of social services the mission offers gratuitous services
without race discrimination, religion or origin. |
