MEET THE TEAM
We love what we do—and yes,
even each other
We know schools—and now we know you, too (hi). Our nimble team of strategists, storytellers, data geeks, content creators, and account ninjas collaborate every day to make good things happen in school communities. You’re only as good as the company you keep…which probably explains why working here is so darn awesome (just sayin’).
In addition to our 9-5, many of us also volunteer at school, have done a stint in school administration or education, or have kids ourselves, so we understand what it takes to build strong, successful school communities and the value that effort brings—and we bring that same passion and enthusiasm with us to work every day.
THE SFM WAY
MISSION: Making life easier for school communities
We provide convenient and helpful solutions so teachers can focus on teaching, students are prepared to learn, and parents can meaningfully contribute to their school community.
