Family Resource and Support
What we love most about SOMACC is their quiet and diligent work to make sure that all kids are equally nurtured and enriched. They go out of their way to ensure proper resources and engage the families of every kid. I was very touched when I saw they keep a food pantry, accessible but out of sight, for families; I was also moved to tears when they held 'movie nights' for our kids during the pandemic and made sure that each kid had not only access to the movie, but also to snacks and activities at home. It is such a blessing to have our son in such a loving, healthy, and diverse environment. He is thriving and so are all his friends. If only we could keep this spirit of equity and enrichment throughout people's entire education journey!
