The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) has designated November 11–15, 2024 as National School Psychology Week (NSPW) with the theme “Spark Discovery.” NSPW is an annual opportunity to recognize school psychologists’ work to help youth thrive, and school communities throughout the United States will participate in activities and initiatives designed to celebrate these critical professionals. School psychologists partner with families, teachers, school administrators, and other professionals to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments that strengthen connections between home, school, and the community. They apply expertise in mental health, learning, and behavior to help children and youth succeed socially, behaviorally, emotionally, and academically.
This year’s theme, “Spark Discovery,” is meant to evoke a sense of pride in school psychologists’ scientist-practitioner training. School psychologists support their communities in exploring connections and pursuing new ideas. Dr. Peter Faustino, NASP President, states, “As we celebrate NSPW, I would like us to remember the profound impact that positive, supportive relationships have in fostering growth and transformation. The power of meaningful connections kindles curiosity, inspires learning, and sparks the discovery of new possibilities in our schools and communities.” Dr. Faustino adds, “In a world full of possibilities, connections are the spark that ignite discovery. Join us in celebrating the power of transformative relationships and the ways that school psychologists help children thrive every day.”
As part of National School Psychology Week, Adena Local Schools would like to recognize our School Psychologist Kaylyn Pryor. We appreciate all she does to "Spark Discovery" within our district.
The National Junior Honor Society will be collaborating with Flossy Sweet Tooth, Krazy Korn Popcorn, and Sweet Williams Honey for a fundraiser beginning now until November 22nd!
