Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in our school clinic at South High School. Because of you, we now have additional snacks and bottled water available to help students throughout their school day.\r\n\r\nEvery day, students visit our clinic for a variety of reasons, including hunger, upset stomachs, dizziness, weakness, and medical conditions that require additional hydration and nutrition. These resources are especially helpful for students managing conditions such as POTS, as well as those who simply need a little something to help them feel better. Sometimes a bottle of water and a small snack can make all the difference in helping a student feel cared for and ready to return to class.\r\n\r\nOne of the things I love most about being a school nurse is knowing that our clinic is a safe place where students can come when they aren't feeling their best. I want every student who walks through our doors to know they will be welcomed, listened to, and cared for without judgment. Your donations help make that possible!\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping me create a clinic where even the smallest acts of kindness can have a big impact.

Your generosity has made such a meaningful difference. We were able to stock our clinic with leggings for teens who may need a change of clothing, crackers and graham crackers for students with hungry or upset stomachs, cough drops, cold packs, alcohol wipes, thermometer probes, and a new pulse oximeter. We also received a Brita water filter, allowing us to provide students with clean, fresh water when they visit the clinic.\r\nThese may seem like small supplies, but in a high school health office, they can make a very big difference. A student who is uncomfortable, hungry, sick, or worried about an unexpected situation can receive what they need and return to class feeling more comfortable and ready to learn. Having reliable supplies also allows us to respond quickly to students' needs rather than sending them home or having them miss more instructional time than necessary.\r\nYour support reminds our students that their school community cares about them as whole people—not just as students in a classroom. Thank you for helping us create a clinic where students can come when they need support and know that they will be met with compassion, dignity, and the resources they need. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity and for the positive impact you have made on our students and our school community!","fullyFundedDate":1781033438229,"projectUrl":"project/clinic-consumables-helps-fulfil-students/10115060/","projectTitle":"Clinic Consumables Helps Fulfil Students' Needs and Promotes Classroom Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kovacic","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10059658_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1793941842548","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10059658"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_84714","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":934,"numTeachers":66,"percentFrplEligible":47,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":23,"percentWhite":64,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":84714,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about South High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"South High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/willoughby-eastlake-city-school-district/south-high-school/84714"}
