Gratitude & Reflection!

Hello EdConnect Community,

As we approach the end of 2023, I find myself looking back on the incredible journeys we have shared together in support of families in our community having the right to choose the type of education their children receive and the type of school their children attend. In the spirit of reflection and celebration, I wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts with you all.

Having met with so many parents, I know the passion and dedication you all bring to the table when it comes to your children’s education and EdConnect shares that passion.

I started this nonprofit with education policy at the forefront of our work. It plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of Georgia, influencing not only the academic landscape but also the overall socio-economic development of our peach state. A well-crafted and effective education policy in Georgia is crucial for equipping the youth with the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly competitive global environment.

We want to make sure your child gets a fighting chance in that global ecosystem and to remind you that EdConnect is here as your partner in the journey of supporting your sons’ and daughters’ educational choices. We are committed to providing resources, guidance, and a supportive network that understands the aspirations and challenges of every parent. We continue to strive toward helping, not from afar but while in neighborhoods – connecting! This year we have been in the community hosting and attending events like,

• EdConnect School Choice Parent Consultations
• Atlanta Black Expo
• Atlanta Public Schools’ Back to School Bash
• The Ultimate Women’s Expo 2023
• EdConnect’s Dinner & Discussions
• EdConnect Meet & Greet with Tubi Stars
• EdConnect-Sponsored “Happy Holidays - Santa at Greenbriar Mall”
• EdConnect’s Color My Santa Competition
• 2023 Giving Tuesday Supporting EdConnect’s Parent Consultations

We appreciate each opportunity to be able to connect, in person and online, to help families move closer to their goals. So, as we celebrate this holiday season, let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible community WE have built together.

In 2024, we plan to continue to amplify this work with a goal of helping 5,000 parents and we can’t wait to get started! Thank you all for enabling us to continue doing great work because we can’t do this work without your support.

​Wishing you and your loved ones a Happy New Year filled with love, joy, and the promise of a bright future for our children.
