We have over 130 school nurses throughout Cobb Schools dedicated to keeping our students healthy and safe. This year we are recognizing our healthcare heroes in Cobb schools. Caring for students is what our school nurses do everyday. They are trained to deliver care while students are in school, whether it’s administering important medication or assisting with the additional concerns brought on by the pandemic—we say thank you, we see you.
On April 28th, on the Osborne High School campus, the Cobb Schools Foundation will hold a drive-through event to celebrate our school nurses!
If you or your company would like to be recognized as a sponsor, please respond no later than April 12th. Also, if you provide a donation, your special note of appreciation will be given to your school nurse.
