Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am a school nurse and in need for some extra supplies in the nurse's office. I only have 1 bed and I am in desperate need for an extra bed in my office for when a child does not feel well and needs to rest. I also included some toys and sensory objects for when the younger students as well as students with special needs come in and need to stay in my office while waiting for their parent or guardian. I also included underwear for any accidents that may happen.

Most of my medical supplies are funded for, these are just some extra things that will help and make the children feel more comfortable when they are not feeling their best.

Thank you, the children and I greatly appreciate it.
