Grateful for our partnership with @FairfaxNCS and their community center staff serving as Check & Connect mentors to promote student engagement, along with our social workers serving as program coordinators.

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day. Here are some ways to get active for the cause: 1) Free REVIVE Training with @FairfaxCSB in English & Spanish. 2) Educate yourself about drugs. 3) Talk to your children, truthfully, about drugs. There's no such thing as too young.

Closed out the first week of school visiting our wonderful team of school social workers @southlakeshs supporting the Open House for families.
