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.
