Funded Jan 26, 2016I would like to start off by saying that I appreciate what your committee has provided my students with. I am new to the school system so I want the best for my students and student athletes, so they can succeed in the career that they want to pursue. My student athletic trainers are using the resources by adding medical supplies into their medical fanny packs such as gauze, band-aids, gloves, prewrap and athletic tape. These medical fanny packs are serving their purpose as quick response medical assistance for the injured athlete. For example, during a basketball game one of the basketball players sustained a cut on his forehead and was bleeding and one of my student athletic trainers ran over with her fanny pack and pulled out gauze and added pressure to the area. The reaction of my students when they saw a box filled with medical fanny packs was overwhelming because they really wanted something that identified them as athletic training students besides a t-shirt or polo. The next step for my students and I is to continue to rebuild and improve the athletic training room and program. I thank you again for your contribution.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Rivera
