Hi all!
This is my second year as an elementary school nurse. My principal would really like me to focus on "enhancing" the nursing program this year. (I told him this would be next to impossible seeing 70+ kids a day, out of 250, so he gave me full permission to send out an email to teachers about appropriate nurse visits. He is very supportive). We have quite a few programs right now including an outside agency that donates their time for vision screenings, dentist visits, programs to help our homeless kids get clothing, A free sneaker program for one entire grade, a healthy snack program, and a few others. I am curious if any of you have implemented any other kinds of programs. I am feeling stuck thinking of "ways to enhance the program". Right now, I also teach grade 5 G&D. We have a high rate of low-income kiddos, special needs, and kids who are homeless. Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
