Our families were thrilled to be back out for the San Francisco MLK Day March this past weekend, after years of pandemic-related cancellations. We love this beautiful tradition and the opportunity to honor the legacy of Dr. King, while remaining focused on all the work that remains in order to achieve the dreams he held.

Eleven members of our SFFS faculty recently returned from the National Association of Independent Schools' People of Color Conference (PoCC) in San Antonio, TX, where they spent this past week with attendees from independent schools across the country, sharing opportunities for professional development and connection in a safe space.

In keeping with our testimony of the 2022–2023 school year—stewardship—San Francisco Friends School has jumped into the fall focused on community engagement and connection. With COVID restrictions lifting, SFFS students, faculty, and staff have eagerly renewed established partnerships with numerous community organizations, while also forging new ones. Read on for some examples of how we are partnering with our Mission District and San Francisco neighbors.

As LatinX Heritage Month 2022 ends tomorrow, we are spotlighting the many ways we've celebrated at Friends, from featuring LatinX authors and stories in the Learning Commons and Lower School Library to studying important LatinX figures in our culture.

As we enter into a new year at San Francisco Friends School, we are thrilled to welcome new Friends into the fold, both students and members of our professional community.
