Recognizing One of Our Lifechangers

Needless to say, all of our school nurses are heroes and lifechangers. The past 18 months has certainly highlighted their role, their value, and what they bring to our communities. All of our school nurses have gone above and beyond to support the health and wellness of all students and staff. They are on top of the details pertaining to health - especially COVID-related topics, they are instrumental with contact tracing, they communicate important information to all, and have managed to do all of this and more with a smile. 

Allen Brook School principal Angela Filion recognized Williston's head school nurse, Maria Kapetanovic by nominating her for a Lifechanger of the Year Award. You can read more about Angela's nomination here. 

To be considered for an award, nominees must:

• Make a positive impact in the lives of students
• Enhance their school or district’s atmosphere, culture and pride
• Demonstrate exemplary leadership at the school and/or district level
• Possess a proven record of professional excellence
• Show commitment to building a nurturing environment that supports learning
• Adhere to the highest moral and ethical standards

Those qualities certainly describe Maria. Winners will be announced sometime in early 2022. Whether she is one of the official winners or not, Maria is a winner in our book! We thank Maria, and all of our school nurses, for their tireless dedication to all.
