MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - Each year, the first full week of March commemorates those who make an immeasurable difference in the lives of many: school social workers.
“They are one of the most valuable people in this district in terms of providing that social [and] emotional support for our students as well as to their families. Also, in terms of building resiliency in our students, is such an important skill that they do,” said Scott Hare, Director of Student Support Services for Mankato Area Public Schools.
