As this incomprehensible year of 2020 draws to a close, the School Nurses of California Foundation Board of Directors wishes to thank all our individual donors, corporate sponsors, and community partners for your extraordinary financial generosity and support again this past year. We especially thank you for your generous response to our successful "Giving Tuesday" donation campaign. Your monetary gifts have enabled SNOCF to continue in its Mission of “funding programs and services to improve the well‐being of California students and school communities”.
In 2021, SNOCF’s focus will remain on helping school communities decrease chronic absenteeism during a time of remote-learning triggered by the Covid-19 virus. SNOCF remains committed to demonstrating that school nursing intervention can increase attendance, even if schools cannot conduct onsite classroom learning.
In 2020, SNOCF broadened its efforts by partnering with physicians and universities in California to seek grant opportunities to assist in the gathering of research data regarding the role of school nurses in the Covid-19 era, and we will continue this quest next year. We also plan to offer another grant opportunity sometime during 2021.
The School Nurses of California Foundation will continue to seek charitable donations to aid us in meeting both our Mission and focus. Please consider joining us in our on-going efforts.
SNOCF wishes everyone a very Happy Holiday Season & a very healthy 2021!
