National School Nurses Day

Who among us hasn't found respite in the sanctuary like setting of the school nurse's office as children? Whether bandaging your boo boo, taking your temperature, or simply letting you lie down in their darkened office for an hour during gym class, school nurses have long been a welcome and sympathetic hero to children in need. That is why today, May 6th, is designated as National School Nurses Day. Visit the National Association of School Nurses website to get suggestions on how to show your appreciation to these vital members of our educational system. Some of our favorite ideas are to have students make cards for their nurses or to hold a celebration breakfast in their honor. They were always there for us...now let's be there for them!
