Big shout out to Lisa Smith for sharing this adorable video made by the school nurses from Deptford, NJ. Watch until the end, you might need a tissue, I certainly did!
Here was Lisa’s message to me:
Deptford School Nurses have been using Zoom to prepare and coordinate for ways to have a safe school opening. The nurses also decided to create a video to remind students and families of some important hygiene safety tips and to brighten their day and let them know the school nurses are always available.
