Conway ConnectED: PD Palooza 2025

I have been a Conway Public School Nurse for 18+ years and recently was honored to become the School Nurse Coordinator as well as the coordinator of the School Based Health Clinic. As school nurses our main goal is to educate our students about their bodies and how to care for them physically, mentally, and emotionally in order that they can function optimally in the educational system and perform their best academically. We work in cooperation with the parents/guardians and the community to assist in accomplishing this goal. Another one of my responsibilities is the head of the Wellness committee. In this role the goal of health and fitness education also includes our staff; it is in this area that we will work to encourage our staff to care for themselves as well; to promote a fully healthy school district community.
