SOCIAL WORKER CORNER
May – Reflection & Celebration
The end of the school year is a time to reflect on growth. Ask your child to share something new they learned, a challenge they overcame, and a favorite memory. Celebrate these milestones with a special family activity or small recognition. Recognizing progress boosts motivation and confidence as students prepare for the next grade.
