Your thoughtful contribution has a direct and significant impact on our operations and the overall wellness of our students.\r\n\r\nThe organizational supplies enhance our ability to provide prompt and effective care for students' health needs, helping to keep our campus community safe and healthy. Implementing drawer organizers is a very effective strategy for maintaining order among various supplies, such as phlebotomy, laboratory items, and bandages. The bins with lids contain our medications in secure cabinets, ensuring compliance with storage protocols. Utilizing caddies to pre-bundle necessary supplies, such as those for ear irrigation or wound care, enhances patient care and clinic efficiency by streamlining the process for healthcare providers and minimizing unnecessary trips in and out of exam rooms. The ice chest plays a vital role in clinic continuity, ensuring the safe and temperature-controlled transport of sensitive vaccines to an alternate location during school vacation periods, protecting public health resources. The bright storage bins in the waiting room and wall hanging pocket charts in the exam rooms make resourceful educational information easily accessible in both high-traffic and private settings. The rolling stool is an essential daily tool for staff performing exams and even occasionally offers a flexible seating option for a student awaiting their turn 😉 And, we can never have enough cleaning supplies, which are essential for maintaining our infection control standards. This systematic approach contributes significantly to a well-organized and efficient student healthcare environment.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, the snacks and juice provide much-needed nourishment and energy for our students when needed prior to medication administration and during busy schedules, showing them that their well-being is valued. Students often arrive late to school, so knowing that our clinic is well stocked with things like granola bars or crackers to address their physical needs of hunger, which is often at the root of many complaints, is paramount. \r\n\r\nIt is through the thoughtful support of people like you that we are able to maintain a caring and supportive environment, helping our students focus on their academic success and personal growth. Your generosity genuinely makes a difference.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for your commitment to our students' health and well-being.","fullyFundedDate":1758851759681,"projectUrl":"project/healthy-hallways/9627989/","projectTitle":"Healthy Hallways","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Erin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10192054"},{"teacherId":9714816,"projectId":9586897,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your contribution to our clinic. The students were overjoyed when the food donations came in, as if they come late they often miss out on breakfast. The poptarts, cereal bars, and crackers are fan favorites. You also help kids staying at school when they know they can come to our clinic and grab some deoderant, grab a hair tye, or brush their teeth. The students often state \"You guys really care about us.\" \r\nThe stress balls are always a hit with the students, as they are able to use the ones that best suit their sensory needs. They use the stress balls while they are in the clinic whether to calm down, or use during their therapy time. They continue to be some of their favorite coping skills. The thoughtful note cards have been a great addition to my room this year. This allows me to write little reminders for my clients on hard days or during breaks so they remember that no matter what someone is thinking of them. Lastly the stickers continue to be some of the students favorite things we have. They love being able to pick out the ones that speak to them. Sometimes they say \"Ms. Colette can you do that thing where you pick out the sticker you think I need today?\" This is another thing to remind them that they are not alone. Thank you again for your contrinutions. It truly makes all the difference!","fullyFundedDate":1755371246296,"projectUrl":"project/promoting-student-mental-health/9586897/","projectTitle":"Promoting Student Mental Health","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Colette","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9714816"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_11898","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1375,"numTeachers":50,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":23,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":55,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"27.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":70.1,"schoolId":11898,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about East Jefferson High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"East Jefferson High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/jefferson-parish-schools/east-jefferson-high-school/11898"}
