My heart always skips a beat when my cell phone rings during the school day and I see the school’s number pop up on the screen. I million scenarios rush through my head within seconds and I can’t seem to answer the phone call fast enough. I must not be the only parent the answers the phone frantic and upset because the school nurse makes sure to inform me right away that everything is OK! Whether it’s a bellyache, a scraped knee on the play ground, or a child that has a fever, the school nurse calls to inform me no matter what. My children’s care while in school it important to her and she always makes sure that something as simple as a paper-cut is reported to me. I deal with 100 “boo-boos” a day just between my three children… I can’t even begin to imagine how many she encounters in a school that holds hundreds of children! These are unsung heroes that deserve as much recognition as anyone else that your child encounters in school. So here are some unique gifts to show your kid’s school nurse that you appreciate them!
