"Kids bring a lot more than their schoolwork in their backpack every day... everything from poverty, to hunger, homelessness, and mental illness. All of those things are like rocks in their backpack. 🎒💔 Finding solutions to some of those barriers is like removing some of those rocks. That's the goal of my role, to remove those barriers, and ultimately make students more successful in school." - Alison Wofford
Thank you, Alison, for all you do to make our school a brighter, lighter place for every student! 🙌💖 #NationalSchoolSocialWorkWeek #WeAreD5 #D5Family
