Today we proudly celebrate National School Nurse Day and recognize the incredible impact of our school nurses in Gordon County Schools. Our dedicated nurses are more than healthcare providers. They are a source of comfort, support, and guidance for students and staff alike. Whether caring for an illness, managing chronic conditions, providing health education, or offering a reassuring presence during difficult moments, our school nurses are always there.
We are grateful for their commitment to the health and well-being of our school community. Please join us in thanking our school nurses for the exceptional care they provide each day.
