The Oxford School District is proud to recognize Della Davidson Elementary School nurse Erica King as our Employee of the Month. Nurse King helps make our district a great place to work and learn.

Nurse King is the definition of ‘above and beyond’ at Della. She steps in to help in any way possible - not just when we’re dealing with sick kids, but anytime someone needs an extra set of hands. She truly cares about our students, and it shows in every interaction. This year, she moved to a rolling-cart model so she can keep students in the classroom and maximize learning time. Y’all… she is everywhere. You blink, and there she is taking care of a student, checking on a teacher, or jumping in to support a situation before anyone even has to ask. I absolutely love the energy she brings to Della and the heart she has for what she does. She makes our school better every single day, and we are so fortunate to have her as part of our Della Family. Nurse King is more than deserving of Employee of the Month!
