Sedro-Woolley School District nurses continue to partner with the Sedro-Woolley Lions Club to use the spot vision screening device to test the vision of our students. Today, they were at Lyman Elementary School complete the state-mandated hearing and vision screening. The local Lions Club received a 50/50 matching grant from the Northwest Lions Foundation allowing them to purchase the $8,000 spot vision screening device in 2018. The screening device is a huge time saver for the district nurses. The state changed all of the guidelines during the 2017–2018 school year and the vision kits available from the state were cumbersome and time consuming. #SWSDStrongerTogether

During Fire Prevention Week, we’re reminding our families about simple yet effective measures we can take to ensure our homes are safe from fire hazards. One such measure is to turn pot handles toward the back of the stove. This helps prevent accidental bumps or pulls that could cause hot liquids to spill and cause burns. We encourage every family to take a moment and review their fire safety plans. Remember, fire prevention is everyone's responsibility. Let's work together to keep our homes and loved ones safe. #StrongerTogetherSWSD #FirePreventionWeek
