“A massive shoutout to Brenda Dion. Brenda has been the heart and soul of Warrior Preschool and Early Childhood. Her kindness, positivity, and tireless work ethic are to be recognized. She does ALL the things with grace and smile and knows so much about both SPED processes and Warrior Preschool, which is not easy to keep organized. We're going to miss her so much next year as she steps into retirement, but we're incredibly grateful for everything she's done. Thank you Brenda for all the work you have put into our programs!”

Future Educators in Action! 🍎📚 Yesterday, our Cadet Teaching students stepped into the shoes of classroom teachers for a full-day job shadow experience! From morning meetings to dismissal, they took part in every transition and responsibility that comes with leading a classroom. They got to try new tasks, such as taking attendance, grading papers in different subjects, monitoring recess, and even eating lunch in the cafeteria alongside students. One cadet had the exciting opportunity to join 5th grade students on a field trip to the School of Economics! This hands-on experience gave our future educators valuable insight into the teaching profession. #ssdpride
