🩺 NATIONAL SCHOOL NURSE DAY 💙 | They are the first call when a student isn't feeling well, the calm voice in an emergency, and a trusted presence for thousands of students every single day.

Today we celebrate our JCPS school nurses—compassionate, skilled, and absolutely essential. Thank you for taking care of our kids!

A Big Thank You. Happy National School Nurse Day!
❤️ FROM THE HEART 📝 | We invited seniors to write a letter to their favorite teacher. For #TeacherAppreciationWeek, we're sharing a few of the heartfelt responses.

"There were days when I needed more than just a teacher, and somehow, you always knew."

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week.  To: Mrs. Lopez. Fern Creek High School  Dear Mrs. Lopez,   I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything you've done for me. When I look back on my high school experience, I don’t think about or talk about my grade in your class, but rather, I remember and talk about you. There were days when I needed more than just a teacher, and somehow, you always knew. You are someone who listens without judging, someone who can make anyone feel safe and welcome.   Now, as I’m about to graduate high school, I can wholeheartedly say you were one of the most important people in my high school journey. You changed me in ways I didn’t even realize at the time. You made me realize that I really can do anything I put my mind to. I don't think I've said it enough and I will continue to say it, thank you Mrs. Lopez.  From Itzel R.  12th Grade Fern Creek High School
