Our school nurse is in need of items she would like to distribute to students in need. Items include mini hair brushes, lice treatments, and children's underwear (sizes 4 - 8), sweatpants and leggings (sizes 4 - 6), and a pack of thermometers. We have students whose hair is not being comb and they are developing knots on their hair. We also have started to see lice in some of the children's hair and some of our families cannot afford to pay for a lice treatment. As for the children underwear and clothing items, those are use when our students have an accident and they do not have a change of clothes. These items are used on a daily basis and it is difficult to maintain in stock. Lastly, the thermometers will be used for our nurse to hand out to our families when their child is sick. Some of our families do not know when their child is running a fever and our nurse would like to provide some education on how to use a thermometer and what is consider to be a safe temperature to send students to school. These items will help our students be successful in school and provide aide to our working families.
