Honor Roll
Not all heroes wear capes—some wear Dragon green! 🐉✨

It’s School Social Work Week, and we are shouting out the absolute MVPs of Annapolis Middle School. Our social workers are the heart of the Dragon community, helping us navigate the tough stuff, providing a safe space to talk, and making sure every student feels seen and supported.

From conflict resolution to being the best listeners in the building, they do it all with patience and a smile. We’d be lost without our "Dragon Guardians!" 🛡️❤️

Join us in the comments!
Drop a "🙌" or a "Thank You" to show our social workers some love today! ⬇️

We’re smarter, greener, and definitely more shell‑fish educated now! 😉 https://www.instagram.com/annapmsaacps/reel/DVRJjNdAvN4/
