Understanding and supporting our students goes beyond the classroom. During our professional development, our dedicated educators participated in an interactive poverty simulation to better appreciate the complex, real-world realities many families navigate. It was a powerful reminder of the power of compassion, community, and meeting every child right where they are. #proudcardinal
