March 1–7 is School Social Work Week, and Kearney School District is proud to recognize the steady, behind-the-scenes work that helps so many of our students (and families) keep moving forward. Please join us in thanking our KSD social workers: Meeghan Masters, Amanda Textor, and Erin Thomasma.

This year’s national theme, Unite to Ignite: Celebrating Our Impact, fits KSD perfectly, because school social work is all about connecting people and supports so students can thrive.

School social workers support students’ academic, social and emotional well-being through compassionate guidance, collaboration with families and staff, and a strong commitment to helping every student succeed.

They also help connect families with resources, support student mental health and behavior, provide early intervention, and assist during times of crisis. They do this work with students’ best interests at the center.

We’re grateful for the professionalism, compassion and extraordinary support our social workers bring to KSD! Thank you for all you do for our Bulldogs. 🐾💜💛
