Welcome 2024-2025 CB Kindergarteners!

Help me give my students a goody bag for all new kindergarten students in the 2024-2025 school year from the school clinic.

My Project

I would like to welcome our 2024-2025 Kindergarten students with a goody bag from the school clinic.

Starting kindergarten is a big, scary step for our kiddos and goody bags make everyone feel better.

My goal for this project is to make our new students feel welcome. Receiving a gift from the school nurse will hopefully take some of the negative feelings away from "going to the clinic". I want them to know the clinic is a safe place and there's someone there who cares for them and wants to make sure they have a healthy and safe school year.

Bags will include a water bottle to encourage students to stay hydrated throughout the school day, personal hand sanitizer to help keep those hands germ free, and a few other treats.
