The Alamance-Burlington School System is proud to celebrate Donna Apple of Andrews Elementary as our School Nurse of the Year!
Nurse Apple has a gift for balancing top-notch medical care with genuine compassion, making sure every student who walks into her office feels safe and valued. From facilitating the Telehealth program to actively collaborating in Child and Family Team meetings, her commitment to the school community shines through in everything she does. She is always supporting her fellow staff members with a "team-first" attitude and building strong, trusting bonds with local families. She truly looks out for our students as whole individuals, embodying everything a great school nurse should be!
Principal Benson mentioned, "Donna truly embodies the heart of a school nurse—someone who cares not only for the health of students, but for them as whole individuals. Andrews Elementary is incredibly blessed to have her, and she is more than deserving of this recognition."
