Congratulations to ALL of the Tompkins County school nurses, who won our Community Heroes of the Month award!
“The Tompkins Chamber is grateful for the opportunity to thank our school nurses from across all of the districts in Tompkins County. They have no doubt taken on so much additional work, dealt with numerous regulations and so much uncertainty – all while trying to support our children and their caregivers,” said Chamber President Jennifer Tavares. “There was no script for managing a pandemic in modern-day school systems, and yet this group of school nurses managed it beautifully.”
To demonstrate appreciation for these winners, the school nurses were awarded a Community Hero of the Month plaque and thank you cookies made by Creative Sweets from Tompkins Trust Company.
The Community Hero Awards is brought to you by Tompkins Trust Company and the Tompkins Chamber, recognizing individuals from Tompkins County who have significantly impacted our community each month.
