- School Social Work Week -
March 5-11th was school social worker week! We would like to thank everyone that participated in the social media campaign this year. These campaigns are not only fun to participate in but they also help spread the word about who school social workers are and what they do. Additionally, they allow you to celebrate all the hard work you put in every year and all of the things you have accomplished as a school social worker!

MASSW has two available positions on the board: Vice President and Treasurer. We will help with mentoring new members and helping with taking on these tasks if you are interested but feeling uncertain. Feel free to call me to talk about the positions as well. The MASSW board is a very functional and hardworking board. It really feels good to be a part of your professional organization.
