My Project

Our school nurse is asking for a new oral thermometer and covers to take student temperatures accurately and quickly. Our current thermometers all provide different readings, and we would like to have something more accurate to use with students.

Our goal for this project is to provide the school nurse with a quality thermometer to make her job easier.

The students in our school have a variety of needs, and Nurse Crawford does her best to meet these daily by keeping our students safe and healthy.

Our nurse sees 40-60 students per day for different reasons, and her office stays busy. Kensington has approximately 580 students, including students with diabetes, allergies, and other health conditions. We would love to do all that we can to make her day easier, and this would be a nice treat for Nurses' Day!
