My students need size 4, size 6, and size 8 underwear. My students need small and medium socks. My students need small, medium and large jogging pants.
Hi, I’m the school nurse for our district and I see a lot of kids in a day’s time. I have worked in this position for 17 years. Happiness for me is having someone to care for.
We are a small rural school and I see students ages preschool through 12th grade.
I know all of my students by name and I know most of their parents, too. Often I see students for a simple injury, ear ache, or other minor health issue. But sometimes it is because they've had an accident and need to change their clothes. In the past I have stocked my closet with rummage sale clothing. It seems we're always running short on smaller sized spare clothes.
My Project
My project includes the purchase of several sets of boys and girls clothes, including underwear and socks, size 4 – 12. The students will be able to change quietly in my office restroom and will feel better in no time. Parents can be notified if a problem persists and can be asked to return the clothes to school as soon as they are laundered and clean. I plan to label the clothes on the inside for parents to identify them as "school property" as they are laundered. The spare clothes would then be sent back to school and put back in our spare clothes closet for reuse.
My hope is to better care for my students, especially in what can be an embarrassing situation, by having a wide variety of comfy clothes in sizes and easy styles that will fit many boys and girls.
