🎉🎉🎉SCHOOL NURSE OF THE YEAR🎉🎉🎉
Last week, nurse Meredith Dykes, who currently serves the Office of Early Learning, Classic City High School, and the Athens Community Career Academy, won 2024 Georgia School Nurse of the Year!
Nurse Dykes was initially nominated for this honor by multiple CCSD nursing colleagues, and later determined the state winner among multiple nominees by an outside group of judges from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Kennesaw State University, The Georgia Nurses Association, and the National Association of School Nurses. The award was presented at the Georgia Association of School Nurses Conference on Jekyll Island, GA on Wednesday June 12, 2024.
Nurse Dykes, who has been a nurse for over 20 years and a school nurse in CCSD for over eight years, holds a nursing degree as well as a masters degree in public health. You may see her zip around the H.T. Edwards campus on her scooter (with a helmet, of course!) as she works tirelessly to support the health and wellness of CCSD students. Nurse Dykes excels at connecting students and families with community resources and initiating programs in our schools to help students succeed. This past year, Nurse Dykes helped to bring the free vision clinics to CCSD students through a partnership with Georgia Prevent Blindness. Nurse Dykes is a true asset to our CCSD School Nursing Team and is well deserving of this statewide honor and recognition! Way to go, Nurse Meredith Dykes!!!
