May 7th is School Nurse Appreciation Day, and Southwest School Corporation is proud to recognize and celebrate the exceptional care and dedication of our school nurses: Amanda Wheeler, Persephanie Clifford, and Nikki Livingston.
These three professionals go above and beyond to ensure that our students are healthy, safe, and ready to learn. Whether managing chronic health conditions, responding to illnesses and injuries, supporting students with emotional or behavioral needs, or promoting public health, our nurses are trusted caregivers and essential members of our school teams.
Amanda, Persephanie, and Nikki play a critical role in creating a safe and supportive learning environment. Their calm presence, deep knowledge, and compassionate care make a lasting difference in the lives of students, staff, and families throughout the district.
Please join us in thanking them for their tireless commitment and the countless ways they contribute to the success and well-being of our school communities.
Happy School Nurse Appreciation Day to Amanda, Persephanie, and Nikki!
We appreciate you today and every day.
