“Being recognized is a personal honor as much as it is an honor for our School Board, the Administrators and staff of JVPS for their equal effort and support. This will serve as a recognition of the collective and shared leadership towards effecting a positive change in the school culture and the community as a whole in terms of highlighting and addressing mental health in the forefront of the education of each of our students. It also serves as a reminder that the work is just beginning and should not stop, but instead create more leaders – formal or informal leaders – within the classroom, the district campus and the greater community.”
