Teachers may not have
gone to school to practice medicine, but they provide the first stages of
medical care to students on a daily basis. They have to know what to do when a
student has a broken arm, skins their knee, has a bloody nose, throws up, has an
allergic reaction, has an asthma attack, has a seizure, and the list goes on
and on. Until the school nurse arrives, teachers are providing the appropriate
care to students and reassuring students that everything is going to be okay.
On any given day, teachers
kiss an ouchy, apply a Band-Aid that may or may not really be needed, put
Vaseline on chapped lips, and offer water, snacks or rest to students who may
not be feeling well but don’t have a fever.
It is during these
times of medical need that you can really see the bond between a student and a
teacher. During emergency situations, students are comforted when they are in
the presence of the teachers that they know and love.
Teachers play many
important roles in the lives of children. One is not more important than
another. The teachers at TWE know the influence and importance of what they do.
Each teacher enters this school
every day because they love what they do and they want to make a difference in
student’s lives.
Thank you to all of
the teachers here at TWE who put student’s first in everything they do!
