Description

Join us on Thursday, April 14th from 6-8 pm at Sterling House in Stratford as we paint to thank our School Nurses! We have chosen as this month's recipients: School Nurses! Please consider joining us as we paint to thank those selfless men and women who work our schools, who have day in and day out put their own health at risk to keep our kids safe and healthy. School nurses create, distribute and coordinate care plans for children and teens who need additional physical and/or mental health support to be successful in school.” School nurses are also responsible for job duties that help the entire school population stay healthy. They administer screenings for vision, hearing, and scoliosis, and they run flu shot clinics. School nurses also train others, such as showing staff how to perform CPR, first aid and emergency medication administration. Last but not least, school nurses also encounter administrative duties that help ensure student safety. This includes performing state-mandated immunization reviews and “collaborating with social workers and guidance counselors to set up home schooling for students too ill to attend school or those who are hospitalized. We are a family friendly event! We are located on the third floor of Sterling House. There is plenty of parking, and an elevator to get you to the third floor. We ask for a $7 donation for each heart you paint to offset the cost of the clay, paint, organza bags, and other items used to make your heart an amazing work of art. Tonight's hearts will be delivered to local school nurses. Masks are optional. Create Hope - Two Easy Ways (1) Register here and join us in person.
