school nurses

Today, we pause to celebrate the superheroes in scrubs โ€” our amazing school nurses! With a thermometer in one hand and a heart full of compassion in the other, they keep our students healthy, our schools safe, and our spirits high.

Since 1972, National School Nurse Day has been set aside to recognize the vital contributions of school nurses and to foster a better understanding of their essential role in the educational setting. Itโ€™s celebrated each year on the Wednesday of National Nurses Week (May 6โ€“12) โ€” and weโ€™re proud to spotlight the 18 incredible nurses of Linden Public Schools who care for our students with excellence and empathy every day.

Join us in giving a heartfelt THANK YOU to our healthcare heroes:
