Unite to Ignite: Celebrating Our Impact

This week we proudly celebrate School Social Work Week and take a moment to recognize the incredible work of Ms. Luz Harvey, our dedicated school social worker at Morgan Maxwell. 🦁❤️

School social workers are the bridge between students, families, and schools. They support students’ social and emotional well-being, help remove barriers to learning, collaborate with teachers and IEP teams, and connect families to resources that strengthen our entire community.

At Morgan Maxwell, Ms. Harvey plays a critical role in helping our students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. From supporting students through challenges, partnering with families, contributing to IEP teams, and helping build a positive school climate—her work touches so many lives every single day.

Her compassion, dedication, and advocacy remind us that when we unite to support students, we ignite their potential.

Thank you, Ms. Luz Harvey, for the heart you bring to Morgan Maxwell and for making a difference in the lives of our Mountain Lions every day. 🦁✨
