Unified Parents' Association Welcomes Back Students, Faculty and Staff
On behalf of Shady Side Academy parents, the SSA Unified Parents' Association provided special appreciation gifts to welcome back faculty and staff across all four campuses. In recognition of their creative, tireless work over the summer, faculty and staff were given a T-shirt and a Starbucks gift card with a personal note. The T-shirt graphics were thoughtfully designed by alumna Sydney Cleveland-Datesman '18.
In addition, the PA officers at each campus collaborated to design and print fun "Welcome Back" signs and banners for each campus to welcome students back during orientation week.
