“Demonstrating outstanding service to students, promoting the worth of school nurses in the non-public school setting nationally and internationally, and being an advocate for all students at all times, are just a few of the ways this year’s Private And Parochial School Nurse of the Year Elizabeth Paquette has shown she deserves this award,” said Liz Chau, PPSN Director. “From the film-release of A Simple Act, and throughout her wide range of daily services to the Malden Catholic community and beyond, Elizabeth has continued to showcase the influence that a non-public school nurse can have inside and outside of the school setting.”
