Clinic News
Howdy Wildcat Family!
The clinic will begin vision and hearing screens the week of Nov 9th. We will be screening fewer kids at a time so this will be a slow process. Make sure your students are bringing their glasses to school every day.
Every student needs to bring a refillable water bottle to school every day! Please consider this a school supply for the year. We have a nice filling station in our gym for the kids.
Clinic Wish List:
*Travel size deodorant (Male/Female)
*Disposable Gloves for Teachers (one size fits all)
*Boxes of Facial Tissue
Thank you so much for your help and support. We are blessed to have such caring families in our community!
