What's the oddest thing you've done for a student?

Y'all.

I just legit wrote a note to the Tooth Fairy.

First grader swallowed the errant tooth (or maybe he lost it in the lunch room, who can say?) I called mom just to let her know. Mom said that two teeth were loose (I only saw one socket). Kid was worried because all his friends said Tooth Fairy doesn't come without a tooth....

And I wrote a note to the Tooth Fairy so the kid wouldn't be sad. Nobody warned me pre-K- first are so darn cute.

I just got a phone call from what I thought was a parent.

She asked "how far do you go with shot records?"

I said "A complete record?"

She said "I used to be a student there and I now have a job in health care and need my shot record"

I said "how old are you?"

She said "42"

I said "Oh, bless your heart, let me get you in touch with someone that can help you. You need to say I am an old student in my city's ISD and I need a copy of my shot record, however, I am 42. Let me know if they were able to help you!"

I actually have saved a copy of Iz records form every graduate since 1995....have bailed out many a student going to grad school

In Illinois I believe its 50 years that we must keep all health records, so they would be in luck here! When I was in nursing school I was happy I went to the same pediatrician from birth until I was 18 because I just called them up for my records. I still had to have titers drawn though so I'm not sure why they bothered with the shot records.

With my luck I'd end up with a kid in a full body rash from magic glitter lotion :(

My high school saved me when I went to nursing school! I'm not 42 but it was 11 years after I graduated.

I have had to unstuck fingers from a bench, untangle hair from unicorn headbands, and unstuck a tongue from a soda tab. Never gets old around here. Love it!

I've become a pro at slime removal and creating Halloween costumes out of office supplies and the random junk I hoard "just in case"... you can make a pretty sweet derby hat with a paper plate and gauze

And while doing so, it made me realize my school should teach students basic sewing skills.

What a great skill! I'm 23 and have no idea how to sew. I understand the concept, but it would not look pretty! ?

I was trying to think of the oddest thing I've done and really couldn't think of anything, but yep, done this one!
