Today we celebrate the heart of student care in our schools—our incredible nurses! 💙
On School Nurse Day, we recognize the compassion, expertise, and calm presence our nurses bring to every campus, every single day. From caring for bumps and bruises to managing complex health needs, they play a vital role in keeping our students safe, healthy, and ready to learn.

Thanks to a generous donation from Arvest Bank, Bryant Public Schools will have inclusive communication boards on every elementary playground—plus our Pre-K campus!
These boards give students a voice during play, helping them express needs, build friendships, and be part of the moment. As a Special Olympics Unified School District, we’re proud to create spaces where every child feels included and valued.
With Arvest Bank’s investment, Bryant’s playgrounds will be more than just places to play—they will be places where every voice can be heard. Learn more >>> https://bit.ly/4w5XnzQ.
