school nurse day

Thrall ISD is privileged to have dedicated health professional staff members taking care of our students every day. We recognize them on National School Nurse's Day-Wednesday, May 7.

Thank you to Lisa McMurray, RN District Nurse and Magy Burks, MS Health Aide!

TISD and the National Association of School Nurses celebrate and acknowledge the accomplishments of school nurses everywhere and their efforts to meet the needs of today’s students by providing and advocating for quality student-centered care. These health care professionals contribute to our school District and our local communities by supporting students to stay healthy, in school, safe, and ready to learn, and also keeping parents and guardians at work, not just on this National School Nurse Day, but in every opportunity throughout the year.

Since 1972, National School Nurse Day has been set aside to recognize school nurses. National School Nurse Day was established to foster a better understanding of the role of school nurses in the educational setting. School Nurse Day is celebrated on the Wednesday within National Nurses Week. National Nurses Week is May 6-12 each year.
