Today, we celebrate World Occupational Therapy Day! 🙌
School-based occupational therapists play a vital role in helping students reach their full potential. They work closely with children to develop essential skills like fine motor coordination, sensory processing, and daily living activities.
From helping with handwriting to promoting social skills, these dedicated professionals make a significant difference in the lives of students.
Let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible work of our school-based occupational therapists! #WorldOccupationalTherapyDay #OT #SchoolTherapy #Education

Happy School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! 🚌🎉
Today, we celebrate the dedication and hard work of our amazing bus drivers who ensure our students get to and from school safely every day.
Last month, our transportation department shared some exciting news at the BOE meeting—refurbished buses that provide both cost savings and enhanced safety for our students.
To kick off School Bus Safety Week, we want to give a huge thank you to our drivers and transportation team for always going the extra mile and putting safety first! 🚍👏

🍎 National School Lunch Week Spotlight 🍽️
Today, I had the pleasure of visiting Chatsworth Elementary and Gladden Middle School to see firsthand the delicious and nutritious meals prepared for our students every day! From fresh fruits to balanced entrees, our School Nutrition team ensures our kids are fueled for success.
When I asked what they love most about their work, the Chatsworth team shared, “Making a difference in the lives of the kids. We have a unique role in that we’re one of the only ones who see every child in the building.” 💖
Over at Gladden Middle, the staff said, “We love serving the kids and working together.” Oh, and they couldn’t forget about Nacho Day—a favorite for everyone! 🌮
