Today we celebrate School Nurse Appreciation Day 💙
Our school nurses are so much more than caregivers; they are a calm presence in moments of worry, a source of comfort on tough days, and a trusted support for our students and staff. From caring for everyday needs to responding in critical moments, you bring compassion, professionalism, and heart to everything you do.
We would like to give a special thank you to our incredible nurses: Rori Comstock at the Middle School, Alondra Bestgen at the Elementary School, and Lori Bailey at the High School. Your dedication to our students and staff does not go unnoticed, and we are so grateful for each of you.
You help keep our schools safe, healthy, and ready to learn. The impact you make is felt far beyond your office; you touch lives in meaningful and lasting ways every single day.
Thank you for your dedication, your kindness, and the care you give so selflessly. We appreciate you today and every day.
