My Project

COVID-19 had a negative impact on the students of WHS. Many families continue to struggle financially and have found themselves experiencing poverty and even homeless situations. Providing hygiene items and clean clothes can make a difference in students being able to be in school and to keep learning. Specific items, such as free period products will help improve the lives of students in our community. These items will help me in my role as a school nurse to help meet the basic needs of our students so that they can continue to reach their educational goals.
