It is with a mix of happy tears and proud hearts that we announce our wonderful District Nurse, Samantha Wilson, will be moving on to her dream job working with newborns as a labor and delivery nurse! While we will miss her expertise and her calming presence in our hallways, we couldn't be more excited for the tiny lives she’s about to impact.
To send her off in true Bulldog style, we are hosting a "Flower Shower" this Thursday, March 12th!
How you can participate:
We are asking students to bring just one flower to school on Thursday. It can be a daisy from the yard, a rose from the store, or even a paper flower made in class! We want to fill her office with a giant bouquet of thanks from the families she has cared for so well.
Let’s make her last Thursday one to remember. Help us wish Mrs. Wilson the very best of luck on her new adventure!
