Submitted by Dr. Roger Bloom, Principal, Island Trees Memorial Middle School.
On Tuesday, Jan. 9, Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray visited Island Trees Memorial Middle School to present an official citation to Mrs. Karen Stephens, who serves as both the district’s lead nurse and building nurse of Memorial Middle School.
Stephens was honored for her quick response to a medical situation of a student and for making recommendations on how to proceed. Mrs. Stephens’ recommendations to the parents of the student led to a successful surgery and helped save the child’s life.
Along with the Town of Hempstead, the Island Trees School District is extremely proud of the work of Mrs. Stephens and we congratulate her for her excellent care of our students. Congratulations!
