THE HEART OF A SCHOOL NURSE
You notice the silent, the struggles unseen,
You comfort with kindness, you care in between.
Steady and sure, through each twist and turn,
You help every student, making sure they're ready to learn.
You stand at the center-calm, strong, and wise,
With health in your hands and care in your eyes.
Today we thank you for all that you do-
Keeping schools safe and students healthy too.
Student-Athletes planning to attend the Senior Athletic Banquet next Tuesday May 13th (6pm) will need to RSVP with Ms. Mireles in the Athletic Department as soon as possible.
