This week is all about you and the profession that you have chosen to dedicate yourself to!  School Social Work Week 2014 is a chance for you to spend some time celebrating you and all of the hard work that you do! We hope that you are able to take some time to reflect on your work this past year and realize just how valuable you are.

If you looking for some ways to celebrate this week, here are some suggestions:

  • Write an article for the school/district newsletter
  • Write a short description for a local newspaper acknowledging School Social Work Week
  • Offer to present at a faculty meeting on topics that you are familiar with, such as mental health, bullying, suicide prevention, substance abuse, etc.
  • Send flowers to yourself
  • Send a thank you note to your principal or supervisor for their support
  • Bring a treat to share with staff
  • Make a sign for the teacher's lounge
  • Organize a school social workers get together after school
  • Send thank you notes to other school social workers
  • Host an "Open House" in your office so staff can see what you do
  • Present at a staff meeting about your job/statistics
  • Have students create posters about school social work
  • Have Superintendent/School Board recognize the important role of school social workers within the district
  • Treat yourself to something special this week - that favorite coffee you love, eating lunch not at your desk, a manicure or pedicure, download a movie or television show that you have been meaning to watch,  read a book that is not work related, etc.
  • Hang up State and Department of Education proclamations in your office
  •  Make a list of accomplishments from this past year as a reminder of the work that you have done
  • Thank the students that you work with
