It's School Nurse's Day, May 10th

Wednesday May 10 is School Nurse Day! 

"The nurses within our buildings are amazing advocates and resources for students, their families, staff, and the community. They work hard as part of our school team to keep students healthy and safe throughout the school year. They provide a much-needed bridge between health care and education to enhance the educational success of ECDS students," says Melissa Montopoli, FNP-C, Nurse Practitioner, Elmira City School District.

"I know every nurse who works at the ECSD is valued, respected, and appreciated and this day is important to recognize them," says Montopoli.

"Our school nursing staff are a soft place to land when our students don't feel themselves throughout the course of the school day. From helping sort out stomachaches (and feelings) to passing out ice packs and bandages, our school nurses work every day to make sure our students are healthy and ready to learn. Thank you to all of our school nurses," says Derek Almy, Director of Student Services, Elmira City School District.
