Helping Out the Nurse's Office

Help me give my students the supplies they need to have a healthy and successful year!

This project is fully funded

Ms. Fortson Brainerd High School
Chattanooga, TN Grades 9-12

My Project

Our district has a limited amount of supplies we receive, and the items requested will ensure my clinic will remain organized and stocked with everything my students need.

Now that we receive medications from parents/guardians to store for students, bins are needed to keep an organized system in place.

Equipment such as a blood pressure monitor acts as a preventive measure that may shed light on illness. Candies act as fast sources of glucose for my diabetic students. In addition to other supplies that will ensure the nurse's office is organized, I aim to provide a safe space for my students: one where they feel comfortable to ask questions, take an active role in their health, and ensure they have the resources they need.

Thank you for your time and assistance as I work to make sure my students receive everything they need and deserve:

Students must be healthy to be educated, and educated to be healthy!
