This picture shows the impact that our entire team has on students! Scott is a custodian at the Early Learning Center. He was cleaning in a classroom when the kids started asking him questions. Before long, he was making sand castles and fully engaged with each student. Although not every staff member works full-time with students, every position makes an impact! ☺️
