Proud of our partnership with Illinois’ ROE 30 and its 24 School Districts and two special education cooperatives. We celebrate them in this 40-page magazine going out to 55,000 households across the ROE‘s #5 county regionnext week. 

Most schools limit social workers to classroom visits or individual sessions, but Giant City's model maximizes both reach and impact.

Look, I love the work we get to at J12 does, helping our partner schools more fully communicate their strengths to the communities they serve, but every now and then, I meet a kid with a story who cuts through all the beautifully designed magazine covers, spreads, and well conceived branding with a singular gem encapsulated in a four word pull-quote. 

Our digital content coordinator reminded me of such a wonder today as she was taking one of our programs online.

So proud of the Meridian Bobcats, Coach Davis, his assistants, the cheerleaders, the parents, the entire school community, and all of their fans across southern Illinois.

It was an absolutely tremendous season from a W-L perspective, but most importantly, this team conducted itself with class and dignity, working hard all season, and leaving it all out on the floor every time they took the court. There is a lot to be proud of in this season, and every team, but one in your 1A Class, finished behind you this season. Keep rising, Bobcat Nation.
