Happy International Women's Day! The aim of the IWD 2023 #EmbraceEquity campaign is to get the world talking about why equal opportunities aren't enough. People start from different places, so true inclusion and belonging require equitable action.

Meet Mrs. Graham!
I started my career as a SCSD student and in 2002 returned as a Kindergarten teacher at Hamilton. I transferred over to Yates in 2019. This is my first year in preK and I’m enjoying every moment of it…the good, the silly and the sticky!
