North DeSoto Upper Elementary

✨ Happy Substitute Education Day! ✨
Today we celebrate the incredible substitute educators who step in with flexibility, patience, and heart. You keep our classrooms running, support our students with kindness, and bring calm to the unexpected.

Thank you for showing up, adapting on the fly, and making a difference, often with only a moment’s notice. You are the steady hands and bright smiles that keep learning going.

Here’s to the heroes who turn the "backup plan" into something AMAZING! #LEADlikeaGriffin
