A local group of Lafayette parents is helping out school nurses by buying supplies and requesting donations for their work.

Lafayette Parents for Education says that they became aware of a need, within LPSS, for medical supplies for school nurses parish-wide.

They say that nurses in the parish, by the middle of the year, see a depleted store of basic supplies and many nurses are purchasing these items out of pocket.

Because of that, Lafayette Parents for Education is holding a medical supply drive in the month of April to collect items for the LPSS nurses. Those items will be presented during Nurses’ Week in May.

An Amazon Wishlist has been created where supplies can be purchased.

The items needed are as follows:

  • medical cups
  • Ziplock bags for ice packs
  • paper towels
  • Kleenex
  • Band-Aids
  • hand sanitizer
  • feminine hygiene products
  • glucose tablets
  • individual cheese cracker snack packs
  • small bottles of water

All donations can be dropped off at one of the following business donation sites:
