Welcome to Arden, Ms. Sabrina Brown, School Nurse!

My name is Sabrina Brown. I have been a Registered Nurse for 19 years, 8 years as a school nurse. My
primary specialty areas are Pediatrics and Infusion therapy. In my spare time I enjoy spending time wtih
family, traveling, reading and watching sports. I am the mother of 2 wonderful daughters. I am excited
to be starting my new journey at Arden Elementary.

Thank you, Mr. Lorne Grant.....Bus Driver!!

I have worked as a Richland One School District One busdriver for 35 total years! Other positions I've
held include radio & camera tech, fuel handler, and assistant field trip coordinator and dispatcher. I will
be retiring on April 9, 2020. Two things I loved most about my work is driving and commun icating with
the kids and their parents. One thing I've learned from students is that you have to treat each child with
that special touch. Some of the advice I've given to students over the years: behave, talk with manners,
respect each other, and do not talk over one another. I will definitely miss driving, but there are
activities and hobbies I will engage in more often now that I will have more time to do so.

 I am a radio announcer and have been doing that for the past 30 years, so I will continu e to do that.
Also I am the founder of a group called Palmetto Media Connections. PMC is a group of broadcasters
connecting media and communications together.
