Today is School Communicator’s Day, and we’re giving a huge shoutout to our incredible BCPS ACCELERATErs: the behind-the-scenes rockstars helping schools stay connected, informed, and inspired. In addition to their “day jobs” as teachers, librarians, secretaries, and more, these staff members take on the important work of telling their school's story. Whether it be sending updates to families, creating flyers, managing social media, or helping to capture the moments that matter. They reflect our Core Value of Proactive Innovation by finding creative ways to amplify voices and strengthen school-to-home partnerships. Thank you, ACCELERATErs, for helping us share the heart of BCPS. You are truly moving our mission forward. #BCPSProactiveInnovation #MovingForward
