It's School Social Worker Week!
At MCC we have two great social workers available to support our students. Both do so much to visit, help, assist, and support our students in many areas. School social workers can help in so many ways including mental health, friendship issues, family concerns, helping obtain resources, and assisting special education.
Thank you Laura and Jeri for all you do to help MCC students, families, and our schools!!
