Today, May 8, 2024, is School Nurse Appreciation Day!
School Nurse Appreciation Day provides an opportunity for students, parents, school administrators, and communities to EXPRESS gratitude for the dedication, compassion, and expertise of school nurses who play a crucial role in promoting the health, safety, and well-being of students in educational settings.
The contributions of our school nurses in our Elmira are an invaluable presence in our school community. Every day, you go above and beyond to ensure the well-being of our students, staff, and faculty, and your dedication does not go unnoticed.
The School Health Office is a space where students find comfort in times of distress, where they seek guidance when facing health concerns, and where they learn the importance of self-care and resilience. Your expertise, empathy, and kindness create a nurturing environment that fosters not only physical health but also emotional and mental well-being.
As we celebrate School Nurse Day, I want to take this opportunity to honor you for your exceptional service, dedication, and compassion. Your commitment to the well-being of our school community inspires us all, and we are truly blessed to have you as a vital member of our team.
Thank you for everything you do, today and every day.
