A new school year brings a new beginning. šš
As children and families across our community head back to school, weāre wishing everyone a safe, happy, and successful year ahead.
For some families, however, this time of year may bring mixed emotions, especially for a child returning to school after the loss of someone they love.
Remember that grief looks different for everyone, and children may need extra patience, understanding, and reassurance as they navigate a new school year.
A simple conversation, a listening ear, or letting a child know that itās okay to miss someone can make a meaningful difference.
To every child heading through those school doors, every teacher preparing to make a difference, and every family cheering them onāweāre wishing you a safe, happy, and successful school year. š¤
