Let’s Celebrate Nurse Elissa!

School Nurse Day is May 7, and we want to make sure Nurse Elissa feels the love!

We’re setting up a Love Box in the lobby with Agent Smith for donations of fun, latex-free band-aids, cards, or any useful supplies she can use in the nurse’s office.

Let’s show her how much we appreciate her!
