🎉💙 Shoutout to Our Amazing Paraprofessionals! 💙🎉

Happy Paraprofessional Appreciation Day!

To our amazing paraprofessionals, thank you for being the calm in the chaos, the support behind the scenes, and the encouragement students rely on every single day. The work you do isn’t always easy, but it is always meaningful.

You build trust, create safe spaces, and help students succeed in ways that go far beyond the classroom. That kind of impact is something truly special.

We appreciate you so much, and we are so grateful to have you all as part of our Family Ties team. 💫

We are beyond grateful to everyone who came out to support our Walk A Thon! Because of your support, we raised $500 for Fayette County Special Olympics and $500 for Washington County! These contributions help create opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities to build confidence, experience joy, and be part of an inclusive community through sports! Thank you for making a meaningful impact!!

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of one of our amazing paraprofessionals, Nateisha Craggette.

We were blessed to have her as part of our team. The amount of compliments we received about her during her time with us was incredible and spoke volumes about the kind of person she was.

Teisha was truly special. She was kind, dedicated, and deeply loved by everyone who had the privilege of working with her.

We are forever grateful for the time we had with her.
Teisha will be so deeply missed. 💙
