Sheridan Education Foundation Celebrates Student Members
On Tuesday, April 14th, the Sheridan Education Foundation, Inc. hosted a special celebratory dinner to recognize the contributions that the student board members have made. The evening specifically highlighted the senior leaders – Emily Will and Brianna Duke.
Both Will and Duke joined the board in November 2023 through the ACTS program. The ACTS or A Chance To Serve is a program designed for freshman students across Hamilton County to come together and get the opportunity, or chance, to serve in a local organization. This program is designed to promote already exceptional students and get them involved in their community.
Will and Duke joined SEFI when the board was still relatively young, as it had only begun in August of that year. Since then, they have paved the way for an important role that the students have played in the organization.
Student members contribute ideas, help promote events, and serve as leaders and mentors to other SCS students. Student board members consist of Emily Will, Brianna Duke, Kameron Alexander, Jordan Byrne, John Crowder, Amiyah Doss, Marah Fausset, Brielle Garner, Henry Hewitt, and Sadie Timme. All of these young adults have supported the Foundation’s ongoing efforts, which is to help and serve SCS teachers and faculty.
Since January 2024, the Sheridan Education Foundation, Inc., has contributed over $54,000 to SCS classrooms. These contributions help support all grade levels, from Kindergarten to Seniors, and help meet a wide range of student needs. The celebratory dinner helped to highlight the leadership and service that the SEFI and its student members have provided. Sharon Brimberry noted, “They have been a significant help to us. And they have provided valuable input into our organization. They will most definitely continue to make a positive impact on their school community and those around them.”
