TLC Box

Donna Florek, a third grade teacher at Knollwood Elementary School in Piscataway, New Jersey

I alleviate many trips to the school nurse by keeping a special TLC Box stocked with Band-aids, anti-bacterial soap, Purell and laminate Hug Coupons. When students come to me with minor scratches, they are allowed to use the special TLC Box. They get the special attention they need from me because I acknowledge their injury. They can also take a Hug Coupon and cash in on it if they need to.
