Do you interact with students outside of the office?

[Kittery]

Good morning all! I'm crazy and looking for opportunities to interact with kids out of the office. Besides puberty talks. I just feel like I need to do something besides the day to day stuff.

What do you do? I'm thinking along the lines of like hosting an extracurricular club or something. I thought I saw a post recently about some kind of student wellness committee but couldn't find it. Doesn't necessarily have to be health related although I don't know what else I could do.

Hmm... Let's see... I'm a closeted Nat Geo and PBS freak (?) :)

Small town so I see a lot of kids everywhere, especially last night when out f or a St Patrick's Day Guinness! But I also work at a lot of the games (tickets, clock manager, game director etc) so I get to know a lot of the athletes as well.

In a former school, i took on directing the school play. That was a lot of fun and a lot of hard work. These days, I work in my own town so it's mostly the kids interacting with me in outside settings like the grocery store or while my kid is at scouts or their sport. I'm also on the town's fire dept, so the kids get a little shocked when they see the nurse pull up on to their street and jump off a fire truck.

Special needs school, kids bused in from surrounding districts. no after school activities here at all. I do try to attend special things that occur during the school day

I don't interact with my students outside of the school day. I don't live in the community where I work, and have two school-aged kids of my own. My time after school is devoted to driving my own kids to their activities, and it's too far to drive back in the evening for concerts and such. I do try to mingle during our clubs time that we have on Friday mornings, and different events throughout the school day.

That's so badass and cool. I always think of you when my GF, who is a paramedic and a volley, keeps after me to join the local volley rescue. I don't want to go to Fire School, and they recently separated rescue. You can do both, but don't have to.

I would love to be an EMT.

The only time I interact with students away from school is at the grocery store...usually when my basket contains adult beverages.

I just do screenings and puberty talk.

I walk the halls every hour to say hi and see the kids, and get my fitbit steps in.

Some days I can barely interact with them in the clinic much less outside the school day!

Why is it they always spot "THE NURSE" when the grocery cart is full of the adult beverages?!? My cart can be full of healthy veggies and not a single kid from my school in sight, but the minute I pick up a six pack or wine they swarm around the cart with judgmental parent in tow!

i reserve the right to judge carts right back if they start judging my shopping selection.
