This week we celebrate National School Social Work Week 2026, themed βUnite to Ignite.β π₯ The theme highlights the powerful impact school social workers have when they bring students, families, and staff together to support student success.
School social workers play a vital role in student mental health, advocacy, and overall well-being. We are incredibly thankful for our very own, Ms. Alejandra Tinajero, and her drive, passion, and love for our students and school community. ππ She truly helps us βigniteβ the potential in every Mustang!
