My students are in a K-5 elementary school. Often our little humans are so busy they don't quite make it to the bathroom in time. We ask our K parents to keep a spare set of clothing for these times. Sometimes the spares don't get replaced before the child needs clothing again. Others just can't afford to send in several sets of clothing. Sometimes it's not a wee kinder child but an older student that needs a change of clothes. Snack/lunch spills, and slips into muddy puddles occur too! Any help you can offer would be enormously helpful.
My Project
As a school nurse in a K-5 elementary school, I see a fair share of students that need a change of clothing. Could be a potty accident or a lunch/snack spill, or a slip in the mud or puddles during outside recess.
A supply of extra underwear and sweatpants so they have a new clean pair to change into so they can carry on with their day with minimal interruption is my goal.
Parents are not always available to bring clothing, and waiting delays student return to the classroom. Underwear is kept by the student, and a note to please launder and return the pants is attached to the bagged soiled clothing.
