November 11-15 is National School Psychology Week This year’s theme, “Spark Discovery,” recognizes the work that school psychologists do to help their communities seek out new ideas, effect change, and expand horizons for children and youth. Join us by taking this week to embark on a journey of discovery, explore how each person can celebrate the work of school psychologists, and learn how school psychologists help students, families, and communities every day. Please take a moment next week and thank our school psychologists for their continued efforts and support for students, families and schools: Savannah Dove, Megan Hinshaw, Rosalind Lincoln, Allen Sinclair and Mlynn Wooden! *James Price in the picture and is in another position currently
