It was a great day focused on health, wellness, and connecting our students with valuable community resources. Tables were set up throughout the halls with representatives from local agencies sharing information about the services they provide. Students had the opportunity to ask questions, gather resources, and learn more about supports available to them.
We also held informative presentations in the library, giving attendees even more insight into health and wellness topics.

The 2026 theme, Unite to Ignite, reflects the power of collaboration and collective effort. It reminds us that when educators, families, community partners, and schools come together, we spark meaningful change. Together, we promote equity, champion student well-being, and build supportive environments where every child can thrive.
School social workers bring compassion, insight, and unwavering dedication to their work each and every day. They support students’ social, emotional, and behavioral health; connect families with essential resources; and help create safe, inclusive, and thriving learning communities. Their leadership strengthens the bridge between home, school, and community — ensuring that students are supported not only academically, but as whole individuals.
