Road to Possibilities - Opportunity Fair Rescheduled

Out of an abundance of caution and in response to recent winter weather across Greenville County and the Upstate, the Barbara Stone Foundation, in partnership with Greenville County Schools, has made the decision to reschedule the Road to Possibilities - Opportunity Fair to Thursday, March 26.

Because this event is designed to serve individuals with disabilities, their families, educators, and community partners from across the county, our foremost priorities are safety, accessibility, and ensuring that all attendees are able to participate fully. This decision allows us to better support those goals while ensuring the best possible experience for everyone involved.

If you have already registered, no action is required. Your registration will automatically carry over to the rescheduled event, and you will receive a reminder email with updated details as we get closer to March 26.

If you haven't registered and are able to attend in March, or are simply interested in more information, please visit our registration website here:

If you have any questions or concerns in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Carlene Zierfuss, Transition Coordinator, directly at czierfuss@greenville.k12.sc.us.

We sincerely hope you will be able to join us on March 26.
