What a meaningful experience for our RAL students! They had the opportunity to hear author Ebony Haynes, whose previous work includes "Dear Black Boy It's Ok to Cry," read her powerful second book, "Dear Black Girl I See You." This uplifts Black girls with messages of resilience and strength. The chance to get signed copies made it even more special. This book encourages self-love and confidence for everyone.

Happy School Nurse Day to the heroes who help our students feel better, inside and out! Your care makes a big difference, each and every day. #SchoolNurseDay #SND2025
