We are a committed group of parents, teachers, businesses and other school supporters who have formed the Sunderland Sustain Our School (SOS) campaign to pursue short-term solutions to our school's emergency. We are moving quickly to do what we can to save vital programs for the new school year. We are also establishing a long-term education foundation to sustain the well-rounded education that has been a point of pride in Sunderland for so many years.

According to Critical Links: Learning in the Arts and Student Achievement and Social Development "Despite convincing research and strong public support, the arts remain on the margins of education, often the last to be added and the first to be dropped in times of strained budgets and shifting priorities. Public education, arts education advocates, and the business sector should seize opportunities for partnerships that can build the type of successful communities that we all want to live in."
