🧡 The Heart of Our Schools: Social Worker Appreciation Month 🖤

Posted Date: 03/02/26 (09:08 AM)


March is Social Worker Appreciation Month, and at WCUSD #5, we are taking this time to recognize the incredible professionals who support the emotional, social, and academic well-being of our students every day.

School social workers are the ultimate "bridge-builders"—connecting students, families, and resources to ensure every child has what they need to succeed. Whether they are leading a small group, providing a listening ear, or helping a student navigate a tough day, their impact is felt in every corner of our district.

Please join us in celebrating our dedicated social work team:
