New and Noteworthy at SPEF

Community Spotlight:
A Round of Thanks

SPEF is thrilled to have received generous support from the Fairfield/Westchester Chapter of the Society for Information Management. Our Director of Development attended the organization’s annual golf tournament to personally share our appreciation. A special thank-you to SPEF Board member N.T. Shiv Kumar for making this meaningful connection possible.

Gratitude for Grant Support

We’re proud to be named a Grant Recipient by the New Canaan Community Foundation. Our partnership has grown stronger over the years, and we are truly thankful for their continued generosity. Their support directly helps SPEF deliver our kindergarten readiness program, Summer Start.

Celebrating Leadership and Legislative Champions

At this month’s PLTI Graduation, SPEF was honored to welcome Senator Pat Billie Miller, Representative Hubert Delany, and Representative Jonathan Jacobson. Stamford's delegation's advocacy played a vital role in securing key funding this legislative session to support our Traditional Mentoring and Summer Start initiatives. We are grateful for their dedication to education and youth development.

 

SPEF’s Summer Start Program Begins!

Today, SPEF launched its Summer Start Program for children entering kindergarten without a full year of pre-K experience.

This FREE, five-week, half-day program helps young learners build essential social, emotional, and academic skills for a strong start in kindergarten. Parents also receive valuable support navigating Stamford Public Schools (SPS) and preparing for the school year ahead.

Summer Start aims to serve approximately 25% of incoming SPS kindergarteners. Limited spots are still available!
