“We are truly lucky to call Nurse Sue ours at Campbellton. Nurse Sue goes above and beyond each day for our students. Our students start their day by being greeted near the main entrance with a warm smile and a hug. Sue is always nurturing and kind when working with students. She truly cares about the whole child and truly cares about each and every one of them. Sue takes her time to build long-lasting relationship with our students, staff, and their families.
