Congrats to Mrs. Bass, last week's Spirit Award winner at Madison! Last week was Social Worker appreciation week, but she could really earn this any week. She is positive, professional, kind, a resource to staff and families, and is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure students get what they need. She is a great example for students to know that there are adults who listen and care about them. It's easy to see why she became a social worker and we are so grateful to work with her! Keep up the great work Mrs. Bass!!!
Reminder: Wednesday, March 11th is a Half-Day
