Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Our Wellness Center works with a student body of 1100 students mainly from low-income households. The Wellness Center is staff by a Wellness Coordinator, School District Nurse, Therapists, and a Community Health Outreach Worker. Services offered by the Wellness Center include individual therapy, group therapy, case management, sensitive services, and youth leadership development opportunities. Additionally, the Wellness Center hosts a Department of Public Health clinic on site two days a week. Students are able to receive various types of birth control, emergency contraception, and STI/HIV testing and treatment.

The Wellness Center also works with the administrators to implement and improve school-wide positive behavior interventions and supports, respond to crises, and host school-wide health and wellness events and activities.

The Burton Wellness Center is designed to address all the health and wellbeing needs of students and staff. Our students are unique and have an array of needs that we strive to meet within the Wellness Center. When we can’t meet a specific need, we collaborate with community-based organizations to come on site to support students or to refer and coordinate student connections to other agencies outside of school.

My Project

Coughing can be very uncomfortable and be distracting for students. Coughing is the body's way of removing foreign substances and mucus from your lungs and upper airway passages. Sometimes, though, coughs are severe enough to impair breathing or prevent rest.

The requested Cough Drops can help reduce coughing and soothe sore throats.

The active ingredient in Halls is menthol, and some varieties also contain eucalyptus oil. Both act as local anesthetics and pain relievers. Some products also contain vitamin C as well that also helps in relieving the symptoms of a cold. Most cold symptoms may go away after a few days. A cough, though, can hang around for weeks because viruses can cause the airways to become swollen and oversensitive. We are also asking for Emergen-C and deodorant to make health and hygiene kits for students in foster care.

Help us keep our students comfortable in class.
