I am delighted to recommend Suzonne Williams for the prestigious DAISY Award in recognition of her outstanding contributions to student health and well-being at our elementary school. As an advocate for student health, Nurse Williams has consistently demonstrated unparalleled dedication and compassion in ensuring the well-being of our students. Her proactive approach to health education not only empowers students to make informed choices but also fosters a culture of wellness within our school community.

Moreover, Nurse Williams is a true champion for resources for students and families. She goes above and beyond to ensure that every student has access to the resources they need to thrive academically and socially. Whether it's coordinating with community organizations or working closely with families, she consistently strives to remove barriers to health and education, ensuring that every child has an equal opportunity to succeed. For example, she often will notice a need for a resource with our students. She will reach out to utilize Healthy Learners or even the dental van to promote healthy lifestyles and services for our school community. She connects to our faith-based partners to elicit support with other needs, such as toiletry items and brand-new underwear for those accidents at schools.

In addition to her commitment to student health, Suzonne Williams exemplifies the highest ethical standards in her nursing practices and health education. Her integrity, professionalism, and dedication to ethical principles serve as a guiding light for both students and colleagues alike. She approaches every situation with compassion, empathy, and a commitment to upholding the highest standards of care. In the care of our students, she advocates for their needs even while encouraging parents to learn more about any special conditions for their children, assisting the family and the child in managing the condition as with a student with diabetes. She takes time with the student and the family to learn all the nuances of how to be successful with their management.

In summary, Suzonne WIlliams epitomizes the DAISY Award with her unwavering dedication to promoting student health, advocating for resources, and upholding ethical practices in health education and nursing. Her impact on our school community is immeasurable, and her contributions continue to inspire us all.
