It's time to spring forward. Most clocks do it automatically, but our brains seem to forget to move ahead one hour. #DaylightSavingTime #SpringForward

Wrapping up School Social Work Week! Let's applaud our inspiring school social workers! Their commitment to fostering inclusive learning environments and addressing students' needs makes a world of difference. Thank you for being the guiding lights in our schools! Mrs. Cook loves helping students find ways to connect to themselves and others in healthy and sustainable ways, along with helping them to tolerate the less than stellar days that they invariably have. Their efforts align perfectly with the fourth goal of our School Board's Strategic Plan: Implement an effective mental health and social and emotional learning program. #WeAreSouthSummit #SSWW24 #PearlsOfWisdom
