My Project

As a veteran teacher and coach, I have witnessed students-athletes sustain various injuries. Injuries, such as sprained ankles and fingers, eyes gouged, lacerations, and dislocated fingers, often occur on the soccer field, volleyball courts, the football field, and the basketball court. There were times that our minimal first aid supplies were lacking.

Having adequate first aid equipment, including sterile eye pad, bandages, and Sterile Strip Wound Closures are imperative to protecting our athletes.

We will have all of the first aid supplies that's need to provide emergency care to our student-athletes, which may the difference in an athletes healing.
