Today we’re excited to shine the spotlight on our incredible School Nurse, Christina Powell!💜🐾
Christina is the heartbeat of BMS when it comes to keeping our students and staff healthy and cared for. She provides first-aid and chronic disease management, performs health screenings, educates and administers medication to students, and even trains staff on how to handle health emergencies. (And yes—she gives out LOTS of ice packs and band-aids! 🩹😉)
💡 Describe your team in one word: Compassionate—because everyone at BMS truly loves our students and wants the very best for them.
🥤 Go-to Sonic drink after a long day: Dr. Pepper
🎶 Go-to hype song to start the school day: GOODBYE YESTERDAY by Elevation Rhythm
💜 Favorite part of working at BMS: Getting to know the kids & surprise Sonic drinks!
🎵 If her team had a theme song: Stayin’ Alive by the Bee Gees
Thank you, Christina, for your big heart, steady care, and all those ice packs that keep our Tigers going strong. We’re so lucky to have you on the BMS team!🌟🐅
