Petícia je adresovaná: Mr. Walker and Ms. Davis
Jim Thorpe Elementary School has decided to eliminate their social worker position meaning they are trying to eliminate Ms. Engram who is the one person in the school who is there to make sure your child has a coat, food, and good mental health. Ms. Engram provides a light at the end of the tunnel for these children. A social worker is not a luxury; they are a bridge to academic success. Jim Thorpe Elementary School can NOT eliminate this position it will be detrimental for children who depend on her. Parents who face evictions, hardships, job losses, vehicle losses, and even lost loved ones have depended on Ms. Engram to be their anchor. It's our time to show our love and appreciation for Ms. Engram and be an anchor for her. It's hard to understand the role of a social worker until you need a social worker. I pray that you never have to understand what it's like to depend on one, but if you know, use your voice and stick up for her..
In the Las Vegas-Henderson metro area, nearly 1 in 3 children live in households struggling with high housing costs, leaving little left for food or medical care. We are seeing a measurable drop in economic well-being and health for our state's youth.
I do not share these statistics lightly; I share them because I was once one of those children. Growing up in the grip of poverty, I felt invisible. My stomach was often empty, and my clothes were worn thin year after year. I know how these kids feel. And I know the impact a school social worker makes on a child.

I was a child that benefited from social services during my duration of attending CCSD schools. I basically depended on the schools resources until I was legally able to work, services through these programs provided by social workers made it easier to attend a vocational school, have a better understanding of life and the quality of money. I’m 20 years old and I’ve been able to successfully manage life because of the services and programs suggested by school social workers. I’ve had advice given to me that was crucial to being set on a right path, these days the only thing kids have sometimes are the adults at school.
