Reminder from Nurse Alison |
|
|
|
If you still need to drop off an Epi Pen/Auvi-Q or an Asthma Inhaler for your child, a parent can drop them off with Nurse Alison Monday-Friday 8 a.m.- 4 p.m. with either the Allergy or Asthma action plan signed by the parent and the doctor. If you need a form, please contact Nurse Alison at mary.herrington@gmsdk12.org or 901-730-8511.

Nurse Alison is our wonderful school nurse who helps our kids when they scrape a knee, lose a tooth, or need extra love and care.
As the school year takes off, we could use some items to stock the Health Room. Simple items like dixie cups, tissues, wet wipes, undies for boys and girls, etc. Any donations are greatly appreciated! Email Bernice Wolen with any questions.
