Few know that each school in our district has its own Social Worker, and even fewer know about the many roles our Social Workers juggle in caring for students and staff. This month, we'd like to sing their praises, show you their day-to-day work lives, and direct you toward some of their services before the holidays hit. Watch out Logan Telford's interview and look forward to more articles and videos over the course of the month about our social workers.
