Learning Is Difficult When You Just Don't Feel Good

Help me give my students some ambient lighting that will help them to relax and rest when they are not feeling well.

My Project

In the health office, sometimes we need to have a bright energetic atmosphere and sometimes we need to have a quiet, calm place to rest. We love our students and want to try and help them to feel better quickly so they can return to the classroom as soon as possible.

The new lighting will help us achieve the calm and quiet place.

We help children on a daily basis with minor health issues and a new thermometer would make that much easier to manage. I am requesting Chap Stick for dry lips, toothbrushes to give to students who need one, and clothes because accidents happen. We also do a yearly health screening and the new scale would make getting the weight much easier.

We like to be able to help with little first aid kits for classroom teachers for those little boo-boos that happen. The pencil bags will make great first aid bags.

Sometimes it is hard to keep our little room clean. The carpet sweeper would help us clean up the dirt, mud and bark that the students bring with them into the clinic.

We try our best to keep our students happy and healthy. The items I have requested will go a long way in helping us to achieve this goal.
