University School would like to express our appreciation to our wonderful school nurse, Ms. Beverly Pritchard.
Nurse Beverly has worked tirelessly this last year taking care of us during the COVID pandemic. As stated on the National Association of Schol Nurses website, "School nurses serve as a critical health hub for students, ensuring that students are ready for learning by managing complex, chronic conditions; identifying and addressing mental health issues; leveling the field on health disparities and promoting healthy behaviors; enrolling children in healthy insurance and connecting families to healthcare providers; handling medical emergencies.. and now, navigating through the COVID-19 pandemic by testing, tracking and vaccinating students and school personnel."
We are so very pleased that Nurse Beverly is our special Buc!
