And thank you to her family and so many friends and colleagues that came or sent messages and videos! I know she felt the love! 💕

September is Attendance Awareness month!!!!
Regular school attendance can directly shape a scholar's academic performance.

*Prevents learning gaps: School lessons build step by step. Missing days makes it hard to understand future math, reading, and science concepts.

*Boosts reading and math: Children who attend school regularly are far more likely to read at grade level by third grade.

*Improves graduation rates: Missing 10% of the school year—about 18 days—leads to lower grades and a higher risk of dropping out.
