Welcome to our first blog of the 2024-25 school year! As you know, Tami will be out on leave thru November 13th. I will be covering until she returns and doing my best to keep things running smoothly. ….Okay kinda smoothly! I have so much faith in our amazing team of nurses and I know how well we all help each other. Please reach out if you need anything at all and if I do not know the answer, I will do my best to find it. If there is something I have missed, please let me know. Thank you to everyone that has already jumped in to help. I hope everyone had a great first week!
❤️ Michelle
