Nurse News
Dear parents,
There are occasions whereby students need a change of clothing. My office is in dire need of boys size 6-8 underwear and stretchy pants. If you are spring cleaning and can donate, please consider the nurse’s office.
If you happen to be a recipient of “NURSE” clothing, please make sure to return so that others may use.
Happy Spring,
Nurse Chapelle
