This week, National School Social Work Week, we recognize and celebrate the essential role Social Workers play in supporting students, families and school communities!

NSSWW highlights the vital contributions of school social workers, including their focus on supporting the whole child, connecting families to community resources, serving as key members of multidisciplinary school teams and advocating for equitable practices that promote student success.

Throughout the school year, school social workers navigate complex challenges and rising student needs with resilience and compassion. By uniting students, families, educators and communities, they ignite positive change and help create supportive environments where all students can thrive academically, socially and emotionally.

At Serena Middle School, we are honored to celebrate Mrs. Amy Davis.

THANK YOU Mrs. Davis for ALL you do for Serena Middle School!
