My Project

We have several students with diabetes in our building. Sometimes their monitors stop working and I need to call a parent to bring a checker. It would be better to have one in my office so these students do not have to wait for care. As a nurse, it is imperative that I have what my students need in order to take care of their medical needs. Some students get low blood sugar after the gym and being able to check them will help them. The thermometer covers will be used for all our students.

Being able to provide my students with the things they need makes their day easier and able to learn better.

Ms. Rachel
Grades 6-8
