• The St. Mary’s County Citizens’ Advisory Committee for Special Education (CACSE) Rise Up Awards: The Rise Up Award recognizes a teacher, administrator, therapist, assistant to an educator, or anyone in the Special Education system who has truly gone to extraordinary efforts to contribute, in a compassionate and caring way, to the growth, happiness, and general well-being of our children with disabilities. If you are a parent or caregiver who would like to nominate a person who has positively impacted your child’s life, please consider nominating them for the Rise Up Award. When educators go above and beyond to help our children “Rise Up” and exceed in life, it is our pleasure to recognize and thank them for the amazing jobs that they do. (The nomination deadline is March 7, 2025)

Savannah, Presleigh, Xzavier, and Harper all worked together to help a classmate clean up a water still. They got paper towels, helped this student get their supplies to a dry place and worked as a team! It showed teamwork, kindness and responsibility!

They invited a student who didn't have anyone to play with (and was crying) to play with them in my office for indoor recess.:) They invited a student who didn't have anyone to play with (and was crying) to play with them in my office for indoor recess.:)

Caden showed immense responsibility by checking Schoology and completing missing work in ELA from when he was absent, without being asked! What a great role model! It set an amazing example for others and showed Caden's dedication to his work!

Henry consistently is on task and focused in ELA and Social Studies! He strives to do his best on all assignments and checks for any missing or unfinished work, showing immense responsibility! This sets a positive example for others !
