💙💛💚Today, as part of School Nurse Appreciation Day (a day late), we want to take a special moment to express our sincere gratitude for our incredible school nurse, Mrs. Luebbers!
Mrs. Luebbers is truly the heart of health and wellness across our entire district. She tirelessly dedicates her time, energy, and expertise to ensure the well-being of every student and staff member, from our youngest learners to our seasoned educators.
Think about all that she does:
She's the comforting presence with a bandage and a kind word for a scraped knee at the elementary school.
She's the knowledgeable resource for managing allergies and other health concerns at the middle school.
She's the supportive partner in navigating complex health needs at the high school.
She's the dedicated professional who works diligently behind the scenes to keep our schools safe and healthy for everyone.
Mrs. Luebbers goes above and beyond by collaborating with families, connecting with healthcare providers, and always staying informed on the latest health guidelines. Her commitment extends far beyond simply treating illnesses; she educates, supports, and empowers our entire school community to prioritize their health.
So, on behalf of the students, the staff, and the families of the Sumner-Fredericksburg School District, we want to say a HUGE thank you to Mrs. Luebbers! Your dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment to our health and well-being do not go unnoticed. We are incredibly fortunate to have you as our school nurse.
If you see Mrs. Luebbers today, please take a moment to thank her for all that she does. Her hard work makes a real difference in the lives of so many.
Thank you, Mrs. Luebbers! We appreciate you more than words can say!🥰
