A Letter From SOTA’s Family LiaisonDear SOTA Families,
Are you interested in meeting and networking with other SOTA adults? Do you desire to contribute your strengths to building a school model that is changing the face of public education? Are you ready to experience more of what your student experiences at SOTA? Are you eager to be on the INSIDE?
Welcome to SOTA Connections!
Join a group near you. Meet others, ask questions, offer solutions, build partnerships, dream, eat food, make friends, give from your heart, receive what you need and make a difference together.
We are pioneering a unique approach to building partnerships with families and invite you to join us in this exciting venture. SOTA Connection groups meet in homes, restaurants or coffee shops, sharing food on a monthly basis. They are located throughout the greater Tacoma area and beyond, offering vital points of connection and a direct line to information, opportunities and resources for SOTA family members. For more information and/or to find a group meeting near you, please contact Monika Scheffe at sotaconnects@gmil.com or 253-232-5587.
Below are links to resources and services organized by grade level to help serve your family’s needs and acquaint you with individuals you may want to be in contact with in the future.
