With her trusty stethoscope and a treasure chest full of band-aids, Harrisville School Nurse Kelly Avallone sails through the halls, always ready to mend scrapes and soothe aches for her young shipmates. Nurse Kelly’s sharp eye for spotting “sea legs” gone wobbly and her gentle reassurances make her a cherished figure among students and staff alike.

Always prepared for a nautical emergency, Nurse Kelly keeps her office stocked with remedies and themed stickers, turning every visit into a mini-adventure. Her unwavering dedication embodies the true heart of our crew, making her the undisputed champion of the high seas of Harrisville! Congratulations, Kelly, and thank you for everything you’ve done over the past 20 years!
