🌟 Speech Pathology Week 2026 🌟
This week, we celebrate Speech Pathology Week and take a moment to acknowledge the vital role Speech Pathologists play in our schools and communities. A special shout-out to Abbey, whose incredible work has made such a positive impact on our students, staff, and families.
Abbey has been instrumental in implementing our systematic sequential phonics program – Every Sound Counts, ensuring that every student has the tools they need to build strong literacy skills. Her expertise has been invaluable, not only in improving student outcomes but also in adding tremendous value to our school teams.
Abbey’s support extends beyond the classroom, as she works closely with families to create a network of encouragement and shared success. Her dedication, knowledge, and care are truly inspiring.
We are so grateful for Abbey and all Speech Pathologists who make a difference every day. 💬✨
