We are a Jumpstart Campus within the Indianapolis Public Schools Innovation Network.

We are a collaborative school community that focuses on student achievement through mindfulness and trauma informed care.

When it's all said and done, our goal is to ensure that students are prepared to be influential contributing members of their neighborhoods and communities.

A Later-Gram of everything that made the final weeks of school special.

As we go into the summer months, we at Sankofa are grateful for all of our students, parents, teachers, and community members that came alongside our mighty campus this year.

We cannot wait to welcome our students back for summer school in a couple weeks!

Have A Great Summer!!!

Our Teachers are the backbone of our campus. Without them, our work is not possible.

We spent last week celebrating our staff with tokens of appreciation that will never amount to the value they bring to our community day in and day out.

If you have an educator in your life, please remember to thank them.

WE LOVE COACH HARGROVE!

This past week we celebrated the educator, leader and amazing person that is Coach Laurie Hargrove.

The joy she brings to our school is unmatched. You won't find a more purpose driven leader in Indianapolis :)

We are thankful for your relentless pursuit of excellence and the grace you bring to a role that challenges the status quo day after day.

HOORAY HARGROVE!

WE LOVE SPRING!

After 10 days of gloomy, rainy weather -- the sun peaked it's head out from behind the clouds!

Ms. West took her 4th graders outside for some much needed community circle time on our massive front lawn here at @sankofasos

Late sunsets and beautiful temperatures are ahead of us, Indianapolis!

We love our adult culture here at Sankofa!

As much as we pour into our students and families, we do that equally with our staff.

Our teachers make Sankofa what it is and they are the shepherds of high quality education.
