Amanda Schopfer was nominated by Sara Moghis, the parent of a student.
"Amanda is the best school nurse," said Moghis. "I've never seen her without a smile, even through the pandemic and school closures for hurricanes. She has continuously followed up with me regarding my son's medical issues each year, before I even have to reach out to the school. She gives staff the necessary information to care for my son while keeping anything unecessary confidential. Amanda is 'on the ball.' She is warm and welcoming to the elementary students, which is exactly what they need. We love her, and she has made a big difference in her students' lives."
