COORDINATORS NEWSLETTER - SEPTEMBER 2017

Greetings Coordinators, 
Happy September! As we embark on a new school year, let's take a moment to never lose sight of why we do this work. We are an integral part of our communities and help contribute to student and family success. Please join us in celebrating Coordinator's Appreciation Week on Sept 25-29. Connect with us via Thunderclap and let's highlight our work, we deserve it!
