Your donation has made a big difference in our ability to care for the youngest of the public school kiddos. \r\n\r\nThe self-adhesive wrap gets used daily in our clinic. It makes even the biggest \"boo-boo\" less scary for our 4-year students. We are now able to secure band aids to those difficult to stay on places like elbows and knees. They also make great alternatives for our students who are sensitive to adhesives. The icemaker is by far our favorite item. It has been a lifesaver so many times for both students and staff. It is such a time saver & an environment saver not to have to pre-make disposable ice packs. There is almost nothing that a little self-adhesive tape or a bag of ice can't make better. Even when the cafeteria ice maker went down, we were able to have ice available for our staff and student injuries! \r\n\r\nThe printer & paper have been amazing in helping us to streamline services to parents submitting documentation or needing work notes as they pick up their sick children. We have noticed a big reduction in our stress related to lost records due to needing to be copied elsewhere by non-clinic staff. The students are enjoying having coloring sheets tailored specifically for them, such as the letter \"K\" for \"Katie\". Education doesn't have to stop just because a student needs to spend time in the clinic!\r\n\r\nThank you all so much for making our clinic a safer, happier, and healthier place.
