School Social Work Week | Unite to Ignite

March 2-8, 2025 is School Social Work Week. Help us recognize and celebrate our NECSD Social Workers throughout this week! 

Dear School Social Workers,

This week, we take a moment to recognize you. Your impact is felt every single day. You are the heart of our schools, the steady hands that guide students through their toughest challenges, and the compassionate voices that uplift families in times of need. Your work with the families in the Newburgh community is a testament to your dedication and the difference you make.

Your commitment to the well-being of our students extends far beyond the classroom. You serve as the bridge between home and school, the advocate who ensures every child has the support they need, and the trusted confidant who listens without judgment. Your unwavering dedication to care and equity helps families navigate hardships, empowers staff with resources, and strengthens our school community.

Your work is not always easy, but it is always essential. You inspire hope, create opportunities, and change lives—often in ways that may never be fully seen or acknowledged. But we see you, we value you, and we are profoundly grateful for the impact you make every day.

Thank you for your passion, kindness, and relentless dedication. Your quality of care for our students is truly inspiring, and it makes our schools, students, and community better because of you.

With deep appreciation,

The Newburgh Enlarged City School District
