She is always ready with a Band Aid, an ice pack, a caring heart, and a comforting smile! She helps keep our students healthy, safe, and ready to learn. 🩺

Today was a special day at D.S.E.S. as we welcomed back some of our former students for their graduation walk!

From elementary hallways to graduation day, we love watching our students grow, succeed, and chase their dreams. 💜💛
