Sutton School Employee Spotlight: Valerie Lemieux
Q: What is your favorite thing about working in a school?
Answer: "The students; it’s like having a hundred grandchildren. I have a good relationship with all the students".
Q: What have been some of your favorite moments as an educator?
Answer: "I love inspiring some students to want to become a nurse. Bringing the Northern Counties Dental Clinic to Sutton School has been a huge success. My favorite moments are numerous from supporting students who have broken bones, cuts, sprains, and all kinds of sickness to teaching children healthy habits such as flossing and brushing their teeth and hand washing".
Q: What are you looking forward to about this school year?
Answer: "I am looking forward to becoming an instructor for CPR and helping KESD reach their goal of getting 6th and 8th graders certified in CPR, first aid, and AED use. I would also like to initiate a Cardiac Emergency Response Plan at Sutton School. There are bills working their way through National and State legislation that would require Cardiac Emergency Response Plans in all schools. I want to be prepared for any emergency that might happen at school".
Thank you, Nurse Valerie, for your dedication to your students and to Sutton School!
