Donate to Support Student Health & Wellness

We created a school-wide Health & Wellness Amazon Wish List to help provide necessary health and wellness products to our students. Our school nurse and counselors work together to develop a list of items that will directly support our students. Items include happiness journals, sensory products, stress balls, hygiene products, and snack foods.

If you choose to purchase from the Health & Wellness Amazon Wish List, all items can be shipped to the school. For questions, please reach out to Sara Ibarra, School Nurse. We appreciate your support!
