There’s been a little changing and rearranging over the summer, so we wanted to help you get familiar with some of the faces you’ll see as we head back to school this week!

Next is our middle school crew! They help students manage new schedules, new friends, and new challenges. They also mix patience, encouragement, and just the right amount of humor to get through the day. 📚 They’re excited to see you in the halls this week! #larnedpride
