Nurse Brady gave our favorite United School District Lion mascot a clean bill of health after a busy month of non-stop photo ops! 🦁🩺
The Lion was feeling a bit exhausted from all the love and high-fives, but after a thorough checkup, Nurse Brady confirms our mascot is in tip-top shape. Good thing, too, because there are only 8 days left until school starts! 🎒📚
Thank you, Nurse Brady, for keeping our number one fan ready for the new school year!
