Today is World Occupational Therapy Day! This year’s theme, “Participation Matters,” reminds us of the importance of helping every student engage, belong, and succeed.
We’re celebrating three individuals whose work helps make that participation possible:
🌟 Kelly Edge - Physical Therapist
🌟 Tiffany Sinyard - Occupational Therapy Assistant
🌟 Krysty Hufford - Vision & Hearing Examiner
Much of their work happens behind the scenes, but their impact is felt every day as they help students access learning, build independence, and participate more fully in school life.
Thank you, Kelly, Tiffany, and Krysty, for your dedication, compassion, and care. We are proud to celebrate each of you today!
