Welcome Ms. McKenna Glaub, Our New School Nurse!

Zitzman Elementary is thrilled to introduce Ms. McKenna Glaub as our new school nurse! Ms. Glaub is a graduate of the University of Missouri’s College of Nursing and brings three years of experience to our school community. Before joining Zitzman, she worked at St. Mary’s Hospital, specializing in the mother and baby floor.


When asked why she became a nurse, Ms. Glaub shared that her inspiration came from her aunt, whose stories about nursing sparked her passion for caring for others.


Ms. Glaub is engaged and planning her wedding for this summer. At home, she enjoys spending time with her two golden retrievers and staying active with hobbies like playing pickleball. As a proud Kansas City Chiefs fan, she’s always cheering on her favorite team!


Please join us in giving Ms. Glaub a warm Zitzman welcome!


Mrs. Glaub will host a 1 hour meet and greet from 4:00-5:00pm on Tuesday, December 17th at Zitzman Elementary for any families that want to stop in to meet her or discuss any health topics as needed for their kiddos. She is also available
