School Health

Over the course of the last several years, PrimaryPlus has been involved in building a strong school health program within the Lewis County School System.  The two organizations have worked together to create a program that exceeds expectations bringing quality care, friendly faces, added convenience, and affordability.  Currently, PrimaryPlus provides three nurses for the middle school and high school.  We handle all state mandated screenings, offers FREE screenings throughout the course of the year, conducts trainings/certifications for employees (CPR, First Aid, etc), offers many entertaining health education programs, and more. Below are some of the health education programs available, please note that we can also create or adapt programs to better fit the educational need.

School Health Programs Offered by

		Tooth fairy---Pre-school thru 3rd grade: Tooth fairy and her friend, Max the Mustang, discuss baby teeth, permanent teeth, teeth brushing, flossing and going to the dentist. The children are given the opportunity to brush Max's teeth and talk to the tooth fairy. Each child will receive a toothbrush, as well as other dental prizes.
		Scrubby Bear---Pre-school thru 3rd grade: Scrubby Bear visits the children equipped with a hand washing video, in which he stars, that discusses the importance of hand washing to rid of germs and keep us from getting sick. We also have the germ light to show the children how easily germs are transferred and to ensure proper washing at school. They receive a sticker, coloring page and other gifts.
		Hygiene---4th thru 6th grade: We use a video called "Whatsa Hygiene" and wil do class discussions on everyday hygiene and the importance of it for health and social reasons.
		Nutrition---All Grade Levels: LCPCC has a registered dietician to do nutritional counseling and any education for individuals or classrooms. The dietician will be available for teachers to utilize in the classrooms for educational purposes or on an individual basis for the students.

Other programs for students and/or that can be created or adapted for most ages:

• Glow light for hand washing
• Oral hygiene
• Smoking cessation classes (Ascent program) or any education for tobacco products.
