For Dusty Raymond, a social-emotional learning (SEL) coordinator at Ponderosa Elementary, every school day begins and ends with connection. While no two days are exactly the same, Raymond’s work is rooted in building relationships, creating safe spaces, and empowering students with the skills they need to navigate both school and life.
