Our sweet Allie is almost 22 and still loves school as much as she did when I was her teacher at HCS! Check out the smile she shared when her teacher dropped off more school work! Love her!!! ⁦@BPS101⁩

Creating a memory of Personal Well Being w/Lisa downtown Geneva. Normally can’t find a parking space :(
We supported ‘Cravings’ - excellent choice for Potstickers if you can’t make it to Chili’s 😀

In the midst of all this uncertainty, amazing things are still happening! 2 of our students just got accepted to Judson University! So proud of Alicia and Sophia! Congratulations to them and the extraordinary team that helped them reach this milestone! @MidValleyCoop

Can any of the high school educators provide recommendations on fiction and nonfiction books that young adults are currently reading? I need to improve the library choices for my male and female students that are in the juvenile justice center.

It is okay to feel sad. It is okay to feel angry. It is okay to feel overwhelmed. It is okay to feel confused. It is okay to feel scared.

It is NOT okay to feel alone. If you need help, please reach out. 💚 #neveralone
