HAPPY SCHOOL NURSE DAY!!!!! (May 7, 2025)
“I mean, you’re a school nurse… Be honest, what do you make?“
AED
INPUT NEEDED
Last chance to email input to Tami regarding the small bags for bleed kits (red) and Narcan (green) to attached to the AED units to make it easy to grab and go during an emergency. Tami is going to place an order soon.
CHALLENGER GAMES
Little league teams are partnered with a Life Skills classroom challenger buddy to have some baseball fun. EA’s and teacher also join in on the fun. When it is over, a group photo is taken with all agreeing that it was a fun time. “The challenger families and players have the biggest smiles.”
Jessica Malinowski does such an amazing job with organizing this amazing event! It would be wonderful to see some of our nurse crew faces out there supporting the kids and families!
Only 3 more games this school year! Click here for game dates and location.

DEI
Weekend Snack Bags
The Giving Plate is resuming their weekend snack bag program! As a reminder, this program provides extra snacks for students in need, to supplement food access over the weekend. Please note:
- Families must complete a form to qualify and begin receiving this resource.
- FAN Advocates continue to be the point of contact for family qualification/permission forms and for snack bag distribution to students.
- If your school’s parent volunteer network has stepped in to organize snack bags during the Giving Plate’s pause in service, please let them know this program is resuming and they can phase out their coordination. Better yet, if this is an issue your Booster Club/PTA cares about, they can volunteer with the Giving Plate as individuals or a group–that effort will directly benefit food access for students in your schools.
