Dear Colleagues:

Atlanta Public Schools stands proud to partner with United Way of Greater Atlanta to ensure a caring culture of legacy, learning, and leadership, where every student will graduate ready for college, career, and life. Through our continued partnership, UWGA has been an unrelenting advocate for a city where all families, students, and communities thrive. Through their Child Well-Being Movement, UWGA has been instrumental in providing resources and sharing strategies to ensure that our students experience lasting improvements in their overall well-being. To that end, I am asking you to participate again in our 2025 APS Gives Hope Charitable Giving Campaign done in partnership with UWGA. Participating in this giving campaign is an excellent way to bring together resources to drive sustainable change for our Atlanta communities.

We will officially kick off this year’s APS Gives Hope campaign on January 15th and it will run through February 15th. Along with UWGA, our APS Foundation is also a designated beneficiary in the campaign. Through this foundation, the Atlanta Partners for Education (APFE), a 501(c)3 that supports APS students, you will be able to inundate our schools with support.

To participate in the 2025 online charitable giving campaign, click on the attached link starting the 15th day, of January 2025 to make your tax-deductible pledge. Your contribution choices are private, safe, secure, and fully automated. For a little extra push, we will also award a gift card to the top three givers! If you would like to know more about the causes United Way impacts, contact our United Way representative, Troy Parker, at tparker@unitedwayatlanta.org.

Thank you in advance for your participation. I am truly grateful for your unrelenting support and for opening your heart. I appreciate all that you do, and I am excited to participate alongside you!

Be well,

Bryan Johnson, Ed.D.
Superintendent
Atlanta Public Schools
