Hoping to Create a Supportive and Functioning Office for nurse, students, and staff, Staples, Elementary, Mrs. Emily Bohon
With this grant I will be able to provide a functional office space for myself and students and staff to ensure it is effective and well-organized. My office is very small and not very practical, but I do my best with what I have. If I were to be a recipient of this grant it would mean so much to me, as well as my students. As a nurse, there are moments several times a day where I am constantly moving and seeing one child after the next. During those times my office is so cramped and crowded it’s hard to remain organized. I believe if I were able to receive this grant that I could make my office more functional and effective which would allow seeing students easier. I work for a district that has not been able to provide raises to staff in four years. I have spent a lot of my own personal money and time to try and make my office more efficient, as well as purchasing items for students, (socks, underwear, hygiene products,) that may otherwise go without. Our school has many low income students who require additional and extra support, not just medically but also with basic needs that fall on my shoulders. Some of the items I am asking for on amazon are small things that would just make taking care of the children easier. Items such as: pediatric pulse ox, glasses fixing kit, new tweezers and nail clippers, and hygiene products, underwear, wipes. I have a very old and bulky height scale and I was hoping to get something that takes up less room and could just hang on the wall but medical grade. Some of the larger items would also help with diagnostic testing such as: illuminator cabin for vision screenings with new vision acuity charts, new blood pressure machine for pediatric and adults, a new stethoscope that is louder and will allow me to listen to heart and lungs better. I am also asking for help with storage solutions for clothes for children who have accidents. One of the biggest things would be 10 years worth of filters for the air purifier in my office. In addition, receiving this grant would give me more peace knowing I have the extra organization and tools required to allow me to do the best job I can do for my students and staff here. With this grant I am asking for a gift card to amazon for the necessary items above that were mentioned. I want to thank you for your consideration and I hope that I am selected.
