Help me give my students first aid! Our budget has been cut, and we are running low on classroom first aid supplies. It would be so helpful if we could have at least one kit per classroom.

My Project
The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my school will help our students heal after they hurt themselves. We know that kids can be rough at times, and most times the don't get hurt. For the times that they do, we need supplies.
We have experienced numerous budget cuts, and currently, the school is utilizing the funds we receive for other purposes.
Teachers have been having to purchase their first aid supplies. It's one thing to purchase for a class of 20, but we also have specialists who see every child in the school. You never know what will happen!
Each classroom has a red bag that we take with us when there is an emergency. In that bag, we are required to have a roster and first aid. Right now, the bags have rosters and gauze. That is all.
Of course, there are times when a student will need to go to the nurse, but when that happens, they miss instructional time. At least 15 minutes. That time is needed, and if we have these kits in the rooms, there is no time wasted. Often, with our littles, a bandage with just make everything alright, like mama's 'kiss on the boo boo'. While we are not mama, we could use EXTRA bandages for those moments!
