“Sankofa” teaches us that we must go back to our roots in order to move forward. That is, we should reach back and gather the best of what our past has to teach us, so that we can achieve our full potential as we move forward.
Our Vision
At Sankofa Academy we will ensure that every student becomes a strong critical thinker who is a positive leader in our local and global community. Sankofa Academy emphasizes student empowerment and academic achievement. All our students are empowered to master literacy, numeracy, science, social studies, and technology.
Through community-based projects, exhibitions, and arts-integrated lessons, we ensure that our students can demonstrate mastery of grade-level standards in a variety of ways. This is imperative in order for them to be competitive in an ever growing global economy.
Anyone who knows me knows that education not only in my life, but in my kids lives is very important. Being that my kids have been afforded the luxury of attending private schools the same can’t be said for every child we know. So being able to not only support this great school but strive to better health and reaching my goal of running a half marathon some time this year it was the perfect opportunity to do both. In this economic state I know its tough not only to support your own family but to reach out and extend a helping hand to those less fortunate but remember it takes a village to raise a child. Even if you can only donate $25.00 thats fine because its more than what they had to begin with. Below you will information on how to donate and sponsor me RAYMOND PRICE.
Due to budget cuts, not only is our elementary school short on books,
but those we have are no longer current. As a runner for Sankofa,
every dollar you raise helps us put new books on our library’s shelves.
