Happy School Social Work Week!
This week, we celebrate the incredible dedication and impact of school social workers who go above and beyond to support students, families, and school communities. Whether they’re providing resources, advocating for students, addressing barriers to success, or offering emotional support, their work is truly life-changing.
We are so fortunate to have such a caring and dedicated group of social workers in our district! Thank you for all you do!
