Rescind your retirement!

Have you ever been in a movie theater during a sad scene when someone laughs — it’s their way of not showing their real feelings. When Judy submitted her letter of resignation I had an Old Yeller, Bambi, Titanic, Notebook, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas moment. I wrote Denied in large red letters across that paper followed by Contact the Offices of Joe Bornstein. Let’s put aside for a moment that Nurse Judy has extensive knowledge/skills and the disposition — the compassion and passion — to be the Nurse of the Year, or decade as far as HMS is concerned. To use an academic term from this climate of assessment, she is Value Added: Judy’s value lies in her competence and contributions to our school and school system. She begins every school year with updates for student health so we are aware of which students need a more watchful eye. Judy attends 9:00 every Friday SST (Student Support Team) meetings even though she officially begins at10:00. From one of those recent meetings I gave her this feedback: “You are a good role model for listening - it does not matter which student discussed in SST you are watching the speaker, taking notes and nodding agreement.” Now, if you would only listen to me - RESCIND YOUR RETIREMENT! You may have noticed a theme — I (we) prefer that Nurse Judy not be retiring. She is truly unflappable - blood, body parts, broken bones, runny noses, skeletons, 2
nothing phases her. She kept us healthy — physically, mentally and socially — and not just the students, the staff, as well. Judy has a wonderful way with parents - the conversation would go like this: “What, you want me to do that, no, I think that is something you should do.” And, like us, they loved her. A student’s perception: “She has most likely never hurt anybody’s feelings, is sarcastic, but in the good way, is one of the funniest adults I have ever known, and last but not least, she is incredibly kind.” On behalf of the HMS Clippership, I wish Judy fair winds and following seas. Along with a respectable golf handicap. Bruce Brann, Principal

You are such a hero of mine When I was an Ed Tech, I visited you a lot with the kiddos that I worked with, you were known as “Nurse Judy the Dinosaur” by one of the students, and when I learned that, I could not stop calling you that. I once ran into you at Trader Joes and yelled “Nurse Judy the Dinosaur, how are you?” That year I had knee surgery and when I started to come off the pain meds I was convinced that I was having a heart attack. I told you what was happening and you quickly made all my fear go away by telling me I was experiencing withdrawal symptoms, something my doctor didn’t even divulge. That is who you you are, someone who makes those you touch feel safe, loved, and you do it all with an incredible sense of humor. You were also part of my path back to HMS. I am so happy for your next adventure, and feel lucky to have been able to work with you one more year. You will be missed. Jen Laberge

What JUDY means to me: Just not a fixer of boo-boos Utterly caring and kind Dynamo Young at heart, soul and mind You will be sorely missed! Things will not be the same in our corner of our HMS world.... May retirement bring you all that you hope and wish for. Cheers to wonderful traveling, great golf, restful reading, plenty of laughter and most of all, you! Love & hugs, Nini Emmons

Harrison Middle School Survival Handbook Every year, as the fifth grade writing club takes on the “Harrison Middle School Survival Handbook” - written by fifth graders for future fifth graders, someone eagerly wants to profile the nurse! In a long list of articles such as “lockers” and “Mr. Smith” why would there be clamor to profile someone whom one generally doesn’t want to have to see, a school nurse? Because our school nurse is Judy. As the latest issue proclaims, echoing past sentiments, “Our nurse is so kind.” And SO MUCH MORE!

Judy, you will be so missed! I have loved working just a few doors away, all these years, and wish you the very best in the years to come. Love,

Class act You are simply a class act. A few things I will always remember are: Some years we have had students who needed to be introduced to deodorant — I would call you and share that it is getting pretty bad up here (usually in spring!) and you would tactfully pull the student aside and the next day the room was smelling like new! ;-) You have, on a couple of occasions, brought me down a flu shot from the high school when I was unable to go there on the clinic day, and given it to me at the middle school. Actually, I am not sure if this is a good thing or not... perhaps you just enjoy sticking a needle in my arm. I should have gotten the hint when you offered on multiple occasions during the same school year. Ok, I stretch the truth sometimes. Your genuine concern for students and staff over various health issues they face. Your commitment to the toy collection for needy students each Christmas time. What a nice tradition you started. Thanks for being such a compassionate and dedicated member of the HMS staff.

You will be missed greatly. Enjoy your retirement - you deserve it! Steve Simonton

Sweet demeanor We moved to Maine when Emmy was in 5th grade. I had the pleasure of meeting Judy that first week. I’m not sure she was as happy to meet us. Ha! Emmy came in with critters. I suspected LICE and sure enough, Judy confirmed it. I’m sure this led to checking many other students. Thank goodness Judy took it in stride and made us feel welcome still to our new school. She was even kind enough to check my head since the idea of Lice gave me the heebie jeevies. I still appreciate her kindness:) Her sweet demeanor has always made kids and faculty feel better immediately. May all the joys of retirement be hers. You deserve a world of happiness Judy! Thank you for being you! Tracy Weinrich

Caring Judy shows every student and colleague that she truly cares about their overall wellbeing. She is a genuine listener who shows sincere kindness with a friendly smile. She is a very valuable part of our community, not only because she keeps us healthy, but because she contributes a true sense of caring to our school environments. This quotation expresses my thoughts on the value of Judy’s contributions to Harrison Middle School. “Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community.” Anthony J. D’Angelo

I remember when my son, Patrick, was in middle school. He had frequent bouts of nosebleeds. One day, he was in your office for 45 minutes with a nosebleed. I was feeling sorry for him, but he said, “No, it was great. We talked about cats the whole time!� So, thank you for caring for my children. Cindy Somes

Roses are red, violets are blue when we send them to the office with cuts, headaches, menstrual cramps, and low blood sugar, no one fixes ‘em up better than you! Enjoy your retirement, Brian Skilling, Kelley Damboise, and Randy Dehetre

Thank you for you kindness to Bridget and Anna during their time at HMS. You were a special source of refuge to Anna during her transition to HMS, and a source of comfort, help, and friendship for Bridget over all four years! Thanks so much, Parker/Casey family.

What most impresses me about Judy is her natural tendency to go out of her way to make all students feel cared for. This was so evident with our Chinese student, Wei, who gravitated to the spot outside her office whenever he had free time in his day. I believe he did so because of the way Judy talked to him, asked him questions and did her best to learn about him and to engage with him. She also sought me out for information to help her better relate to him. The warm spot in the building Judy created will surely be missed by many. Thank you, Judy! Sheri Oliva

blood and boogers My grossest memory was when we had a student that kept on reinfecting my class with lice. I couldn’t stop itching. Judy checked me daily and came in graciously with her knitting needles during read aloud. “Oh great, I didn’t miss anything. This book is great. The best chapter yet,” she’d say... I’d peak up from the book as she tapped nearly half of my class on the shoulders to let them know that they had lice and that she would be contacting their parents to let them know. Yikes! Judy calmly deals with any situation—blood, boogers, you name it and she solves it. I will miss her. Kelly Conley

On the days when you are missing school, take a minute and read this poem, and it will take you right back to your days at HMS! Sick “I cannot stay in class today,” said little Peggy Ann McKay. My nose is cold, my toes are numb, I have a sliver in my thumb. My tongue is filling up my mouth, I think my hair is falling out. My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear, there is hole inside my ear. “I have the measles and the mumps, a gash, a rash, and purple bumps. My mouth is wet, my throat is dry, I’m going blind in my right eye. My tonsils are as big as rocks, I’ve counted sixteen chickenpox. I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke, I’m sure that my left leg is broke— My hip hurts when I move my chin, My belly button’s caving in. My back is wrenched, my ankle’s sprained, My ‘pendix pains each time it rains. My neck is stiff, my voice is weak, I hardly whisper when I speak.
16
My elbow’s bent, my spine ain’t straight, My temperature is one-o-eight. I have a hangnail, and my heart is—what? What’s that ? What’s that you say? You say that school is done today? G’bye, I’m going out to play!” Adapted from Sick by Shel Silverstein from Where the Sidewalk Ends. Congratulations on your retirement, You are irreplaceable!

Under the weather You are “one of a kind,” your caring ways, support, and patience have helped our students whenever they were hurt, whenever they are under the weather, or when they just needed assurance that everything would be OK. Finding someone to “fill your shoes” will not be an easy task. If you put as much effort into enjoying your retirement as you have all the years you’ve been working, your retirement will be truly amazing! ENJOY!!! Diane Reynolds

While our paths have only crossed for a short time, it has been a total honor and a pleasure. Your welcoming and kind nature has been such a gift with helping me feel at ease at HMS, and I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you better. Our Friday lunches have been an amazing treat, filled with humor and friendship. Thank you, and cheers to celebrating every day! With love, Jess Townsend

I thought I would provide you with some guidance for retirement from famous golf quotes. After all, golf is life. First, we’ll start with two quotes from the great Ben Hogan.: “The most important shot in golf is the next one.” “As you walk down the fairway of life, you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.” While this holds true for golf, I feel that it is true in life as well. Best of luck and wishes on your next shot in retirement. I’ll close with a quote from the baseball world, Hank Aaron: “It took me seventeen years to get three thousand hits in baseball. It took one afternoon on the golf course.” Always keep your great sense of humor on and off the golf course (especially on the course) because a bad day of golf is always better than a good day at work! Congratulations on your retirement. Mike Arsenault

Your kindness and love will forever be at HMS, because you are a star, Nurse Judy, and the star dust you leave behind will always be in our hearts and in our souls and twinkling in the hallways at Harrison Middle School. Thank you for being you. Many blessings and much happiness in all the journeys that await your beautiful presence. Much Love, Margaret Gregoire

Happy Retirement to Our Irreplaceable Nurse and Friend I’ve known you for a long time, Judy. We’ve been school colleagues, but before that we were “townies” with kids on playing fields & rinks all over Yarmouth. You were the party hostess for holiday parties way back at YES; such fun events! You are a Yarmouth “fixture”; everyone knows you, and everyone who knows you loves you. Many people say no one is “irreplaceable”, but they don’t know the many ways you touch the lives of both students and staff every day. You will not only be missed, you will be remembered fondly with great respect and admiration by more people than you can imagine. I’ll be one of them. Best wishes alwaysElaine Fletcher

You’ll have time to smell the roses and even pick them. You’ll have time to sit and ponder on one of our soft sandy beaches. You can even take a dip in the crashing waves. You have given to so many for so long, now it’s your turn. Do what you want, when you want. Judy don’t forget Peter’s Putters. Loved it! Enjoy your precious time and remember to take a swing for me. Congratulations on your retirement! Love, Your Friend, Carli Page-Redmann

‘Twas February 2012 and I had just found out that I was expecting a baby, there was no doubt; “Finally,” I said, as the journey was tough; but support you provided through the process, so rough. Happy you were, filled with glee for Brian and me, Little did I know just how tired I would be! Come 1:00, keep my head up I could not! To your office I would go to crash on the cot. You tucked me in all snug and tight, set an alarm, and said goodnight. You cleaned up your office and headed out the door, asked Joan to check in on me just to be sure. Care and comfort you provided to all, the thought of you leaving could make me ball. Nurse Judy, I surely will miss you but this time you deserve to golf and enjoy the view! Angie Turgeon 26

“If love can’t cure it, nurses can.” Anonymous
Nurse Judy - you will be missed more than you can imagine. Over the past several years, I have sat in your office with numerous students. Every one was treated with compassion and care, no matter how large or small the problem (or often times, the perceived problem). Your ability to calmly and with humor, deal with everyone at your door, has led to your office being “the place to be” at the end of recess and lunch for 5th graders and 8th graders alike! I can’t imagine how any person will fill your shoes. Enjoy your retirement and know that you have a special place in the hearts of the many students and colleagues you have touched over the years.

Bright spot My visits to the school nurse were some of my fondest memories from my childhood education. Watching the way you have worked with the kids bandaging their bangs and icing their bruises has been impressive, but not nearly as awe inspiring as the kind and patient person the kids always find when they walk through your door. I’ve realized that from watching you work that my early tummy aches were probably just my way of being taken care of by someone who I knew really cared about me. A bright part of the day when the rest seemed pretty tough sometimes. The kids and staff in this school have benefited in so many ways by having you as a bright spot in their lives. I’m so thankful we’ve been colleagues and friends! Let’s keep the friend part going long after you depart. Enjoy every second of your next endeavor! All the best, Marti-Jo Shaw

“Can I go see the nurse?” I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you over the years. Your kindness, sense of humor, and dedication to our students and staff has not gone unnoticed. No wonder, “Can I go see the nurse?” is the most frequently asked question in our classrooms. I will miss you greatly, and I’m SO jealous you’ll be able to golf all the time!! Enjoy every moment of your retirement. You deserve it. Fondly, Liz Greely

Thank you so much for being the school nurse at the elementary school and HMS when our children Sara and John were students there. You always had a comforting smile and a gentle touch.
The children at HMS always knew that “Mrs. Berghius� would take care of them as they came to you with their various aches and pains, their baby teeth that fell out and those days that they probably should have stayed home. You also had a kind, but firm way of sending kids back to class when you knew that they were trying to get out of a quiz or test! We wish you many beautiful days of sunshine and time to spend on yourself and with Mel! Happy retirement! Paula and Jim Vicenzi

Congratulations on your next journey, Judy!! I have such great memories of working with you Judy, at HMS and with the Yarmouth Ski Team! I hope that both you and Mel know how much I appreciate our ‘connection’ on many levels! I will always have a spot in my heart for the ‘Berghuis’ Family!

Though I haven’t known Judy for very long, I always enjoy visiting her with Kavi when we need to stop in for his inhaler or are just passing through. She is a joy to be around who will be difficult to replace. The students are very comfortable coming to her and she will be missed here at HMS. Bobby Priest

Matt and I still remember with great fondness the days you rescued us when we lost power and you still had it on the other end of town. Matt couldn’t wait to pack up and get to the Berghuis’ to get his very important assignments done, when in reality he laughed and talked with Stephanie and Lindsay the entire time. No one did any homework, but friendships were certainly formed. You are my rubric for good entertainment. If you wheeze with laughter, I know it’s a must see, and a performance of any kind is especially good if seen with you. I always enjoyed my visits to the symphony as a guest with you and your mother, however, we were more proper on those occasions. I love you for your promptness, “spahkly” hat, excellent humor, friendship, generosity, many talents; and those just right descriptions. Love, Betsy Lane

Everything will be OK I do not have one specific memory about Judy, I just know how she makes me feel, which is also how she has made hundreds of Yarmouth kids feel throughout her career. When Judy is around I just know everything is going to be OK. She is calming and reassuring, thoughtful and honest, compassionate and empathetic. She is also brave as hell! When Judy lost Lindsay in 1999 it would have been understandable had she decided to stop working with kids for awhile - it would have been understandable if she stopped all together. Judy showed incredible courage by staying the course and continuing to help our kids even when she was grieving her lovely daughter. Before and after that time, she has been everything a nurse should be and more. Judy helps people. She lets them know everything will be OK. Mike Hagerty

Tears and Fears I was drowning in student medical needs when you came on board. We divided up the student load and went to work. For 25 years we have worked side by side (sometimes wine glass by wine glass) to meet the medical needs of students/staff/ and parents. We have supported one another through good times and bad times, through our tears and our fears, and through our mutual respect for one another. I will always remember the laughter we shared with puberty classes (boy were those questions funny!), and our faces that hurt while smiling for kindergarten screening! You have been a wonderful professional colleague, a confidant, and a very special friend. I look forward to continuing this bond for the next many many years and having more good times on my boat! But most of all I will now schedule you to sub for me next year!!!! Love ya- Margi Moran

A few years ago, as I was waiting at Logan Airport for the Portland bus, I was surprised to see YOU there, waiting for the same bus! You were just returning with your husband from a photo safari to AFRICA! (I was returning from... Iowa.) I remember how thrilled you were with the trip, exhausted but extremely happy. Now that you are retiring, I hope that you’re able to take many more trips that are equally as exciting! Enjoy every precious moment. Wishing you all the best, Merry Stuhr

“Mom” Though I only had this year to work with you personally, I am thankful to you for all that you have done to help the students of HMS feel better and safe when they need that little extra care. As a parent, I thank you for your special care that you have shown to my own sons when they have needed to come to you. You have been the next best thing to “Mom” when “Mom” can’t be there. I wish you wonderful days ahead filled with relaxation, adventure, laughter, and love.

I had a student who had chronic lice. I must have ran to Judy in a panic a half a dozen times telling her I could feel them crawling on my head and begging her to check. Each time she smiled, looked, took a deep breath, and kindly told me that no in fact I STILL did not have lice. Judy is so patient with students and staff. ​Kristina Walsh​

A role model So many memories of you, both personal and professional, and your amazing commitment to the Yarmouth School System… I would like to share a few of them below. Professional I’ll never forget my first year at Yarmouth High School, when you gathered a bunch of us to meet at Margi’s house at 6:00 a.m., with pots and pans in our hands to create an amazing melody of Happy Birthday to literally ring in Margi’s 40th ! I knew I wanted to hang around you then, and I continue to feel the same way today. I remember the many “Student Services Team” meetings at your house, when we could have ‘off-campus’ meetings during the day. You opened your home and your heart to us (and I believe your refrigerator several times (to make sure we were well taken care of and loved). Personal I remember many district professional development days when they were held at the Middle School, and I was having horrible headaches during my pregnancy with Owen. I would come to your office and you would say “Beth you absolutely can take Tylenol, that is safe, believe me.” Sensing my apprehension, you would whip out your nursing book or some medical journal and show me in writing that acetaminophen was indeed safe to take. You calmed my mother-to-be nerves and you also loved my children as if they were your own. Below is a picture of all my favorite people welcoming Owen at a shower at Becky’s.
42
I loved having Lindsay in my advisor group. Of course, her amazing sense of humor, quick wit and ability to think on a dime was a highlight of advisor/advisee time. Even though we were all trying to understand and accept what she was going through, you held firm to your expectations. I specifically remember when she returned to school after her treatments and had a tendency to be a ‘little tardy’ to advisor group, be it stopping at the corner store or waiting to be picked up by a friend. You and I would talk, and you would say to me, “You need to not cut Linds any slack. If she is late, you need to mark her late.” You never asked for special treatment and even though you were all going through such an emotionally draining time, you may not know it, but for me, as a fairly new parent, you were a role model. You taught me so much through your actions. I admired (and still do) your fairness, your consistency, your unconditional love and your amazing strength. Finally, with Lindsay in my advisor group, you spoiled me with treats and with gifts. I particularly remember you going on one of your family trips to Hilton Head and coming back with some amazing “Salty Dog Café” shirts for Paige and Owen. It’s a favorite picture of both of them that I still treasure today (below). You’ve never forgotten my birthday (it must be because March Birthdays are so special) and I will always remember yours. You give people a reason to celebrate life and to look to the future. Thank you for your commitment, your friendship and your teachings over the years. It means so much. I will miss you terribly, but enjoy this next chapter. With admiration and love, Beth Doane

“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.� A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
In the world of school nursing, I imagine you have spent nearly as much time taking care of staff as you have students. For me, it was early in my pregnancy when I kept having an issue with reoccurring nose bleeds. It was your offerings of Mentholatum that helped save me an embarrassing moment or two in a meeting. I hope retirement brings endless moments of joy for you, even though you will be missed by all. Caroline Wiggett

It takes a special kind of person to care enough to take the time for others and to do whatever it takes to help. For everything you have done and for everything you have given THANK YOU VERY MUCH. When I think of you, I am reminded of one of my favorite poems by Ralph Waldo Emerson. “TO laugh often & much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have SUCCEEDED!” Enjoy the next “passage” in your life. Marsha Newick

After being right next door to Judy for the last 9 years, I have learned a lot about the required skill sets and qualities of character that at are essential for a school nurse to possess. She must have .... • a built in lie detector (to tell fact from fiction). Is this child really sick? • the patience of a saint (Nurse Judy = Mother Theresa). • a n endless supply of ice, bandages, tylenol, tums, feminine hygiene products, vaseline, lotion, and snacks (no cough drops though). • a sense of humor (that will even get the most bummed out child to crack a smile). • endless compassion (that is unconditional). • organizational skills (that far exceed those of the typical middle schooler). • a positive outlook (no matter how gloomy or bizarre the situation is). • excellent name recall (it is tough to know all 450 students in the building). • expertise of physical development (of pre-teens and teens). • plenty of genuine empathy. • the ability to think quick on her feet (like a cat). • a high level of trust (so others are open to sharing their private issues). • a consistent cheery mood (that is contagious). • the courage and self confidence (to gently address hygiene issues). There are numerous stories to provide evidence that Judy possesses all these qualities and more. Things will never be the same without Nurse Judy here to brighten up each and every workday for all of us. From the heart, Laura Mike. 46

Congratulations on you’re retirement from HMS. It’s going to be impossible to replace someone of your character, sensitivity, and kindness. You are quite simply, the best. The families of Yarmouth are so fortunate to have had you as their school nurse all these years. Best wishes for a fabulous retirement! Love, Ida Connolly

Making a difference When I first got the position of the lead language arts teacher, maintenance made a make-shift office for me out in the office area outside your office. I loved the privacy (panels with no closure at the top) and the frequent stop-ins of students asking, “Do you know where the nurse is?” I was able to witness the frequent visitors, and of course, the children who were really sick:) Your endless compassion for ALL amazed me. And then I began my own journey. My blood pressure was on the rise and you took it frequently to assure me I wasn’t headed towards a heart attack. Around this time six years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. You answered every question I had and supported me in every way. I cannot begin to thank you for making this trying time in my life manageable. When I needed flu shots and couldn’t make the dates offered, you miraculously found one to administer to me! It takes a truly unique family to work in a middle school; people with sense of humors, compassion, and a love for kids. Thank you for being such an integral part and making a difference with so many people. I can’t imagine HMS without you but am happy you are moving on to a more leisurely life of activities you so enjoy. Best wishes for a fulfilled and happy retirement. I will miss you! Love, Karyn Smith 48

A Goddess of Goodness Thank you, Judy, for taking care of us all. You are like a warm Mama, gently making everything alright. You care for kids when they need a bandaid, break a bone, bloody a nose, lose a tooth, or vomit all over the place. You give them a place to sleep when weary, a caring ear to listen, and for some, the opportunity for a happy Christmas holiday. You even take on such things as middle school adolescent development and personal hygiene! Yuck! When it comes to staff, your warmth and mothering continues. You answer questions, administer care, shepherd kids back to class, and provide all manner of personal and professional medical information. Clearly, you are a Goddess of Goodness! In short, the surety of that warm, Mama embrace will be gone without you. May your fairways be green and your beloved Fenway prosperous. Best Wishes, Julie Logan

Reflect with pride on your fabulous career helping and healing the students and teachers in Yarmouth and think ahead to all that is in store for you... You used to put on band-aides..... Now you can put on golf gloves and golf shoes You used to hold on to ice packs.... Now you can hold on to golf clubs You used to lower temperatures.... Now you can lower your handicap You used to stop bloody noses... Now you can stop working and relax As you finish up this chapter of your life story, Judy, pause; reflect on your many accomplishments, shift gears, and tee it up with Mel and your many friends.

Besides my mother, I think you are the nicest person I have ever met! As a school nurse you are kind and warm and friendly. You have the unique ability to be amused by the nutty behavior of middle school kids, while remaining serious in your care for them. We are so lucky to have had your services for so many years and the kids of Yarmouth were always taken care of by your capable hands. As a colleague you are the ultimate professional! You understand people and care about people and you always show it. The only group more ridiculous than middle school students is middle school teachers, yet, you are just as warm, friendly and calm with us as you are with the kids. One of the great honors of my coaching career was having Lindsay on my team. I will never forget that rainy day in Gray when that brave young woman took the field after everything she had been through. I know now that Lindsay was so strong and so special in part because of the loving, wonderful role model she had as a mom. You are one of the people of in my life that I will always admire and I will always cherish our friendship. We will miss you! Rich Smith

The Spencers want to congratulate you on your retirement. This news was bittersweet for our family. You’ve meant a great deal to both of the boys, Mr. Matthew in particular. He loves you so very much and I have a strong feeling that you’ll always hold a special place in his heart...Ted the Cat will, too. Looking forward to seeing you around the neighborhood. You’ll be missed at HMS. Love, Randy, Kim, Thomas, and Matthew Spencer

Whether it’s my dogs, my kids, my husband, myself, or my students, you have always been incredibly giving with your time, your kind words, and your generous spirit. You will be missed beyond measure! Kimberly Grover
53
It is has been and honor and pleasure to have had the opportunity to call you a colleague and a friend. You have added to Yarmouth in many ways, your leadership on the SST team, physicals, shots, skinned knees and bloody noses to name a few. But what is most impressive is your dedication to the students and staff at HMS and the greater school system, your professionalism, your sense of humor, kindness towards all, even when that might have been hard sometimes, and your willingness to be a team player. I will miss seeing you at our monthly meeting and also know that I am lucky because we will continue to have fun adventures together to the Red Sox, theater or maybe even to the beaches of Roatan again. I look forward to planning some fun times together. So I know this is not goodbye just so long to the day to day of school. I wish you the best and know you will fill your time with lots of new challenges and fun! “A job done well stays well done forever.� Well done my friend, well done!

I have so many fond memories of working with you! I can’t even recall how many times you used your otoscope with me. I think you saved me hundreds in co-pays over the years. I have enjoyed working with you shepherding “our kids” through and I will miss the daily, secret code, 2:10 phone calls. I try not to think of all the times you checked me for lice... I’ve got the creepy crawlies just thinking about it. Judy, it has been such a pleasure to work with you. I will miss your smile and your willingness to help no matter what. You have been a gift to HMS. I wish you much fun and adventure in your retirement. If you ever need a sub for a doubles match, give me a call! Hugs, Jag (Karen Jagolinzer)

A shoulder to cry on Of course, it mattered naught which title she carried or which hat she wore while she was at YES. Judy B eptiomized three of the most important characteristics a nurse should epouse to; that being an advocate, a leader, and caring. How appropriate it is that the nurses credo this year just happens to be that of, “Nurses Leading The Way.” Well, Judy, you do that and seem to aspire to ensuring that you as well as others in educations need to accept ever changing roles—yes, that meant not just sticking band aides from head to toe on everyone who came to the office, but rather taking the art of educational nursing needs to the highest levels. Of course you forced that on the administration as well. From your very first day at YES, you led the way for all involved which did not simply mean the patient, but included the parents, teachers, and all of your collegues who might be in need of a shoulder to cry on, a bit of education in the form of inservice work, or home counseling which often times was a necessity to complete the loop. Time was never a factor even though we sometimes thought you had bankers hours because of your self desgined schedule. You went the extra mile to be certain the job was completed. You did indeed carry with you many of the characteristics of the founder of nursing, Florence Nightingale. Were you the second coming of this
56
great leader in the field? Nursing is a profession and within the educational arena there is not better person to have than the leader in the field. A smile, a hug, lots of love, a stern warning, and an overdose of education all worked wonders for you while mastering your art. Nurse Judy is now and will always be remembered as the most caring and thoughtful educator in the field of education as you could ever wish for. I missed her expertise greatly when she jumped the Clipper Ship and moved on to FHH. I always knew she was looking for a softer job! Judy, a fastastic career in Yarmouth and you will be missed and thanked by all! Congrats, and please try to improve your golf game just a bit! All my best for many happy years in retirment.

I never wondered why so many of my sixth grade students needed to see Nurse Judy so often. It was obvious that there was more to going to the nurse than getting a bandaid, ice or advil. Going to the nurse meant you also got a warm smile, and nice laugh and a listening ear when you needed one. This was true for students and staff. You will be missed, Judy! Stephanie Robison

An Ode to Nurse Judy, the Great! Nurse Judy is great, this is certainly true! We appreciate and rejoice in all that you do. You heal up our youth, and you get them to class. You clean them up good and you do it so fast! Nurse Judy, you should know how beloved you are. Your spirit and energy for us has taken us far. With a smile and a wink you make our school better. We wish we could keep you forever and ever! Yet you deserve a break and some time to rest. Just know when you do we’ll miss the best of the best! You are more than a nurse, a colleague, and friend. You are someone to aspire to be like when the day’s at an end. The lives that you’ve touched are incalculable, it’s true! Never has there lived a more loving nurse that you! 60
Hyperbole is fitting, when we talk about ‘The Judes’ You’re a legend, oh yes, you keep us all in great moods. Our school will miss you, everyday of next year. However in our hearts, we will keep up your cheer. We will think of you somewhere with your toes in warm sand, And a well deserved cold drink in the palm of your hand! Nurse Judy, your impact on this school has been great, But now it is our time to get together and celebrate! For all that you do and all that you’ve done, You’ve made our school better and oh so much fun! We love you as you love our youth. You’re beloved by all and that is the truth! So here’s to Nurse Judy, the greatest nurse ever. We cherish you and wish you well on your future endeavors! Greg Cavanaugh 61

It goes without saying that I will miss you next year. It has been a unique pleasure getting to know you, and an honor working with you. Your kindness radiates in such a way that there is an instant level of comfort for all who meet you. I can’t imagine the number of lives you have touched with that kindness. I hope this next phase in your life brings many long walks on the beach, time with family, time for you, and cocktails with us!! Best of luck and much love, Shenaugh Tripp

Ohforgodsake and NEVER MIND Always there for others, always taking care Ministering to students, listening as they share That’s not the sum of all you do-you also tend to staff Patience is a special strength (and your ability to laugh!) A variety of visitors show and tell you gruesome things Sore throats, and knees, and heads, and feet are ailments each day brings You bandage and you comfort, taking temps and taking heed To all of us at HMS you’re EVERYTHING we need You’re our welcoming home away from home as we move through every day We all flock to you to share your space when you wish we’d go away You arrange care for all sports after school, which often causes headaches You wrap up arms and legs in slings to heal the many breaks. You check our students’ numbers, and monitor their blood You gently clean their many cuts, and wash away the crud. Your smile and your kindness greet everyone you meetYou truly are a gift to us (and did I mention all those FEET?!)
66
We’ve stolen your classic sayings, “Ohforgodsake and NEVER MIND “When short of needles for our eyes, you provide them in record time. We know you’ll leave us very soon and we’re thrilled for you it’s trueOne quick question before you go, “WHAT THE HELL WILL WE DO??” That ends the rhyming portion of this tribute to my friendMy love and admiration saved for the very end. Margaret Mead said, “Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have.” You are one of these people. I’m honored to have had the chance to work with you; I cherish your friendship, and all that I’ve learned from you. With love and all best wishes for everything that comes next! Joan Adler

There are certain people that are hard to replace, you are definitely one of them! As a “newbie� this year to HMS it was comforting to know students could go down to see a caring, understanding and concerned nurse. You will be greatly missed, enjoy your retirement and have fun exploring new endeavors! Louise Schutt

We all know a stomach ache isn’t always a stomach ache. In those times when a band-aid, ice pack, hand cream, or vaseline just won’t do the trick, thanks for being a counselor, confidante, psychiatrist and advisor for our students! You will be sorely missed by staff and students alike. Barb Ellis

At this time, one will offer a quip, quote or other appropriate verse to wrap up feeling and time passed. Well, to put it simply, this is not easily done; and I feel quite impossible. To offer some quick line that sums up working with you for somany years, would fall short. So, I will not try to be sly, clever or find that magical phrase that sends you off on your way. Instead, I’ll offer a few musings on working with you.You have always been a great colleague. Simply put. This is demonstrated in the countless hours that you give to the schools in such a caring way. Whether is was the flu shot clinics or the daily doling out of meds to kids, you keep track of so much; all in a gentle, kind and common sense way. With so many students needing so many (and quite various) need fulfilled from you; you will often move along remembering who needs what, even when they don’t. I’ve witnessed, in awe, the stream of kids coming into your room at a given hour for this med or that med and hearing you say, “Don’t forget to give me your (Blood level) numbers before you leave.” Having all these balls in the air is an amazing thing and something that does not go un-noticed. When working with you during faculty times, on a team, you have always been open, engaging and ready to listen, reflect and offer a good response. Often, it was loaded with common sense and brought the group back to what really mattered! Being a “special area” in these team settings could lead to a feeling (or attitude) of isolation. However, you would look at the topic of the day and 70
always see how it might fit into your work with kids, in the nurses office and when in the classroom. This character trait taught me a lot about how to be open and remain open to ideas and processes for the good of the group. On a personal note, I appreciate all the times that I have found a welcome chair in your room. Whether it was talking about a concern about a kid or (at time) apersonal issue of my own. You created a sense and climate of trust and compassion. This does not happen by accident, but through careful behaviors that welcome each and every one of us into your room. I will miss the times that I could sound you on an issue and know that I would not be judged, but heard; understood and then responded to. Even if the response was, “That really stinks, I’m so sorry that you have to deal with that.” In short, my time in your “chair” always made a difference in my day. So, I guess I’ll wrap up with that thought: “you always made a difference in my day.” I know there are hundreds of kids and staff that are in agreement with me. Please know that, through your caring manner, common sense way, and thorough, kind questions and follow up; you have given much to our school community. Not just the huge task of being our nurse, but also contributing to why HMS is a great place to be every day. So, in your days, weeks, months and decades ahead; I wish that time will be as kind to you as you have been to us. I am grateful to have worked with you. Sincerely, Brad Ciechomski

Your presence has been an extraordinary professional support. You are a fantastic colleague who goes above and beyond. More important to me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a welcoming and caring adult for my son while he has been at HMS. Furthermore, I can’t think of anyone else I would rather have traveled the T1D highway with these last few years! : ) Enjoy your retirement! Jodi McGuire

Throughout the year, I travelled with sports teams to help monitor medical issues for students. Between teaching me how to stab an orange with an insulin needle, checking in via text every cold afternoon for ski team, or packing an extra snack, Judy was always very patient and caring about her student’s and staff! Health and happiness to you, Judy! Darcee Moulton

I’ve been so very lucky to have you found you as a friend and will miss you so but this is not the end. (adapted from Lieveke) Judy, you will be missed. Please come back and visit and thank you for all that you do and have done for both kids and faculty! Many hugs and enjoy your free time. Morgan Cuthbert

August 19, 2005. Life changed in our family forever when our daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, two weeks before she was to enter 6th grade. Trying to figure it all out, in walked the angel, Judy. We could not have done it without her. Our daughter’s trips to her office, 5-8 times a day, or my own trips to her office, 3-4 times a day that first year were always met with a smile and reassuring comments, that life would get better. It did, but it was through her caring and support. Who would have thought a school nurse could calm a nervous mom and keep a 6th grader happy all in the same breath? Judy could. Our lives have been forever touched by her. She is a gift to all parents and will be greatly missed when she retires. She is truly an angel. Martha Crawford

Countless Thanks to Nurse Judy For decades of caring for children’s infections, Of sniffles, and sneezes, and spotted complexions, Thermometers, band aids, and alcohol swabbing, And tending to joints that were swollen and throbbing; When at times a “well” student might fake an affliction, You returned them to class with convincing conviction. Whatever the patient’s consuming condition, They all would conclude, you’re a healing magician. The time is approaching for you to retire And pursue other ventures to which you aspire. Please take pride in the thousands of people you’ve touched, And know that you’re loved and respected so much. Congratulations on your well earned retirement! Love, Cindy Sargent 79
