Greetings!
It amazes me to think that we are over half-
There are many exciting events on the radar for school social workers. Check out these important dates:
March 3 – 7 is School Social Work Week! Watch the mail for your School Social Work Week packet, as well as information from your regional representative about a celebration. Take a few moments to thank and congratulate your colleagues on what a wonderful service they provide for our students. I know I am much more successful at my job because of KASSW and the positive relationships I have been able to develop with colleagues over the years. Many of these relationships have not only been professional but are some of my most valued friendships!!
April 3 – 5 is the 11th annual SSWAA national conference in Denver, CO; you can get a copy of the brochure by checking out their website at www.SSWAA.org.
September 18 – 20th is the annual Midwest School Social Work Conference in St. Louis, MO; you can get more information at their website www.SSWAM.org
I know you don’t hear this often enough but the work you do is so important. I want to offer my KUDOS to each of you for being there everyday, in the trenches, removing barriers and providing supports as our students strive to do their very best!
I hope everyone has a wonderful School Social Work Week and successful spring!
