Great learning session at the Montgomery County Courthouse by specialist Marya Hay. Volunteers were taught effective ways to make meaningful connections while interacting with new students.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! 🎉
Today marks the start of a month dedicated to celebrating the rich heritage, achievements, and vibrant cultures of the Hispanic and Latino communities. In Montgomery County, we are proud to uplift these voices and recognize their lasting impact!

[Dr. Sofía Grant-Dewitt @GMSVikings]

Culture isn’t a slogan or a handbook.
It’s how students feel walking into class, how staff feel on Sunday night, and how families feel when they know they belong. 💙💛

We are so ready for an awesome first day of school! We All Belong at the Hill!!
