Students at Teasley got creative while making their own flowers and talking about what it means to grow, learn, and bloom. 🌼

Just like flowers, growth takes time, care, patience, and support. What a beautiful reminder that every student has the ability to grow in their own unique way! 💚

So proud of this great recognition

This month, The Dave Krache Foundation is proud to recognize Lara Fain, Social Worker at Campbell High School, as our Game Changer Spotlight!

Lara is the kind of person who notices when someone needs a little extra help, and then quietly finds a way to provide it.

Throughout the school year, she maintains Campbell’s "Comfort Closet", stocked with personal hygiene items and cleaning supplies for students and families who need them. She’s also always looking out for kids who want to participate in sports but may not have the financial means to do so, helping connect them with resources and opportunities.

Kind, patient and deeply committed to the families she serves, Lara makes a difference in ways both big and small, often behind the scenes.

Thank you, Lara, for being a true Game Changer for the Campbell High School community! 💙
