Sonoran Science Academy (SSA) is a free, public charter K-12 school with a small-school atmosphere in Tucson, and is focused on STEM education- science technology, engineering and math- and college prep, with instruction on writing and the arts, and opportunities for healthy physical activity. Our Club has supported SSA through several of our Community Service Projects, including providing playground equipment, school supplies, and even a flagpole. On September 15, 2022, the Club visited the SSA campus to meet with the staff and see some of the results of our support.
