Hello! My name is Ethel M. Cabalfin. I have been a Registered Nurse for more than 22 years with experiences in both pediatric and adult. I'm grateful to have worked in the areas of intensive care, medical, surgical, oncology, cardiology, home health, case management, management, and education. I am a proud mother of triplets who have attended Woodland since Kindergarten. Being a parent of three children at the school, I have truly experienced the supportive, caring, and positive environment in the district. I absolutely enjoy working with children, parents, health care professionals and the entire community. I work as a team with our dedicated Health Assistant named Martha Jackson. It is an honor to be the Lead School Nurse and Elementary East School Nurse at Woodland District 50. I will always treat your children with the superior care needed as if they were my own!

Hello! My name is Marigayle Punsalan, Float School Nurse for EE/EW. I have been a nurse for over 10 years and worked at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Mother-Baby area. I love being a School Nurse! I enjoy the positive environment in the school and working with the students and staff. My goal is to keep them safe and healthy in school. I have multiple hobbies that include reading, watching basketball, going to the library, and the bookstore. I have enjoyed working with and learning from Mrs. Cabalfin. I hope to be at Woodland for a long time.

Hello! My name is Martha Jackson, Health Assistant for Elementary East.
I am a proud parent of three Woodland District kids. I taught at the Elementary School level for four years in Colorado prior to having children. Before returning to full-time work outside the home as Elementary East Health Assistant I substituted for one year in Woodland District 50 at all five schools. My favorite part of working at the Elementary East Health Office is being able to use my skills to help students, parents and staff with any and all issues related to staying healthy and safe. When I’m not working at the Health Office or making meals, doing laundry and driving my kids to activities, I enjoy long walks outside, watching movies, reading, painting, and spending time with my husband Karl, our children and our dog, Brook. |
