🌟 Happy National Speech-Language Pathologist Day! 🌟
Today, we proudly celebrate our 37 amazing SLPs in the Springdale School District—a powerhouse team of compassionate, dedicated professionals who go above and beyond every single day. 💙
School-based speech-language pathologists help students succeed by supporting speech, language, social communication, and even feeding and swallowing skills. They work with students individually and in groups, and also play a vital role in school-wide interventions and collaborative learning.
With a wealth of knowledge and an unwavering love for their students, these SLPs don’t just change lives—they shape futures. Whether they’re supporting communication development, empowering students to find their voice, or contributing to school-wide programs, their impact reaches far beyond their therapy rooms.
Thank you for the heart you bring to your work, the hope you instill in your students, and the difference you make in the lives of ALL learners. We are so lucky to have you!
🎉 Let’s show them some love—give your favorite SLP a shout-out in the comments and let them know how much they’re appreciated! 👇❤️





Congratulations to the Springdale High School graduates, who celebrated the day at a commencement ceremony at Bud Walton Arena. We’re excited to see what adventures you experience next! #SpringdaleFamily
