During March, we recognize Women’s History Month, Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, and School Social Worker Week, as well as celebrate the first day of Spring. Add in spring break and prep for school testing, and this is a busy time in schools. We hope this month’s newsletter provides some inspiration and support to help you keep you and your students focused and motivated.
Wishing you a great month!
