Once again the power of social media has provided a format to showcase school nursing. I met Will Linendoll, a producer/contributor to GMA and ABC News on Twitter in the midst of the pandemic. We collaborated on a project last school year that featured Holly Giovi, one of the administrators of the School Nursing Facebook page. This year, Will reached out again for another back-to-school piece featuring more school nurses giving important health tips for parents as schools reopen. I am proud to contribute to this article and accompanying video along with Holly, Sandy Braymer, and Gail M. Smith.
