Founded by Dr. Eric Thomas, The School Days Foundation empowers young people to be successful students now so that they can grow and develop into transformational leaders & innovators.
We fulfill this mission by creating, implementing, and supporting programs, events, and initiatives that seek to eradicate apathetic and poverty mindsets that inhibit and handicap the social, emotional, and academic growth of our future world changers.
Work that matters.
WITH HELP FROM YOU…we are transforming the lives of students & families across the world!

We Impact Educators
“They all came away more empowered and dedicated to doing their respective parts in ensuring every student experienced a measure of educational success.
I have successfully implemented ETA videos, books, posters, and Grind Gear at three Title 1 Elementary schools in Texas over the past six years. All three schools have each seen a tremendous upward shift in their student's performance. The use of motivational tools provided by Eric Thomas in my estimation has been a major factor in that positive upward trend.”
—Jonathan Kegler, Principal

We cannot thank you and the School Days Foundation enough for adding JOY to our home this Christmas! Especially for our children Jaxon & Ava!”
