There are now 20 more Check & Connect mentors ready to support students in buildings across Lancaster County!

Big thanks to PaTTAN team members Jen Shade and Cindy Sheehan for co-training the ES Intensive Skills Training Series at Rockwood Area SD. Their commitment and collaboration brought energy and expertise to the training, making a meaningful impact on participants and the school community this fall.

Their shared expertise made this learning experience especially meaningful, helping to strengthen positive behavioral supports across the community.
