Nurses' Appreciation Week
Nurses' Appreciation Week
To all of our hardworking, dedicated, and caring nurses, the Wayne Township Public Schools would like to wish all of you a Happy Nurses Appreciation Week. National Nurses week is scheduled annually from May 6th - May 12th, concluding on Florence Nightingale’s birthday (considered to be the founder of modern nursing). This year more than ever, we appreciate our nurses for the tireless work they do to keep our students and staff safe and healthy. Our community of school nurses form the backbone of our wellness efforts to support our community and have played a critical supporting role even more vitally this year as our country faces a global pandemic which is affecting our communities and way of life.

Our Wayne school nurses work alongside teachers, administrators, and counselors to support our community in many ways, both obvious and unseen. When schools were forced to close this year due to the COVID-19 outbreak, our school nurses immediately began collaborating on ways to support our students and our families through this challenging time.

Now more than ever, it is the time to say thank you to these dedicated professionals for all they do for our students and our community. The school nursing team is led by Suzanne Koransky who is a caring, supportive leader committed to advocating for the nurses and our families in need.

Muhammed is now in the process of printing and distributing them. Great job Muhammed!

While this could never replace actually going on the trip, the staff of AWMS hopes that this helps to honor the trip that was lost this year due to the pandemic.
