Hello, and welcome to Taft's Social Work page! My name is Sparkle Scissum, and I'm proud to serve as The School-Based Social Worker here at Taft. My mission is to support the well-being and success of every student by offering emotional support, connecting families with valuable resources, and fostering a safe and inclusive environment in collaboration with families, teachers, and staff.
Whether students are navigating personal challenges, struggling with academics, or simply need someone to talk to, I'm here to help. Please don't hesitate to reach out- I'm excited to work together to help our students thrive.
Meet your School Based Social Worker
Hello! I'm Sparkle Scissum, a Licensed Independent Social Worker with over 15 years of experience. I hold a Masters in Social Work (MSSA) from Case Western Reserve University and have dedicated my career to helping children and families overcome challenges and reach their full potential.
When I am not at work, I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors- it's my way of recharging and staying inspired. As a proud wife and mother, family time is especially important to me, and I love finding opportunities to learn, grow, and make meaningful memories.
I'm excited to support our students and families and look forward to making a positive impact together!
