Loop It Up Savannah enhances student education through arts and community partnerships

Loop It Up Savannah, a local arts nonprofit, is set to enhance educational experiences for over 10,000 students in the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) through its innovative programs. During a recent government meeting, representatives highlighted the nonprofit's decade-long partnership with SCCPSS, emphasizing its role in fostering creativity and personal growth among students.

The organization offers a variety of engaging activities designed to validate and inspire young learners. Programs such as Looping Literacy Together, the Mindfulness Zone, and the School and Community Gardening STEAM Education Program are tailored to create positive school environments and enhance academic skills through hands-on experiences. Loop It Up Savannah supports 40 schools across the district, focusing on integrating school gardens into everyday learning, making them a vital part of the educational landscape.

The partnership has evolved over the years, with many educators transitioning into new roles within the district, which has opened up further collaboration opportunities. Loop It Up Savannah actively engages retired teachers, leveraging their expertise to continue supporting students' needs and aligning with the district's strategic priorities.

The meeting underscored the importance of school culture and climate, with Loop It Up Savannah committed to creating a caring and engaging atmosphere for students. By continuously gathering feedback from the community, the nonprofit aims to adapt its programs to better serve the needs and aspirations of students, families, and educators alike.

As Loop It Up Savannah and SCCPSS continue to work together, they are poised to make a lasting impact on the educational landscape, promoting personal well-being, creative problem-solving, and academic success for all students in the district.
