At our school, one special day felt a little like magic. As part of our mission to create a strong learning environment at Shining Light Beach School, we know that healthy children learn better. Thanks to your support, we hosted a free medical outreach for all our students and teachers!
For many of our children, this was their first time seeing a doctor. Some were nervous at first but they quickly relaxed when they saw the friendly faces and caring hands. Everyone had their eyes, height and weight checked. A few students even got new glasses! Others received medicine for vitamin deficiencies, rashes, and minor infections.
Our teachers were not left out. They also had checkups and were so grateful. Healthy teachers mean happy classrooms.
Following on from the health check, we’d love to do even more. We want to hold regular health education sessions, not just for the students, but for their parents too. When families understand how to care for their health, the whole community grows stronger.
Thank you for making this possible. Your giving brings care, comfort, and confidence to our school family. We can’t wait to do it again!
