A big thank you to nationally recognized psychotherapist Lynn Lyons for joining York School Department staff during today’s early release professional development session! ✨

Ms. Lyons shared invaluable insights on "The Resilience Project." Her presentation focused on "pattern interrupt" strategies to reduce anxiety and continue advancing a resilient, supportive educational culture in York.

We are incredibly grateful to the building principals and the counseling and social work teams for proposing this initiative and pulling it all together, with a big shout out to the York Education Foundation (YEF) for funding this experience through their grant program. Thank you for your continued support in helping our educators and students thrive! 🌟
