. Cy-Fair ISD said 270 more students from other CFISD elementary and middle schools are expected to visit Houston Health Department for the same service in February.
“See to Succeed is an amazing program that serves as a safety net for students that may have barriers in receiving glasses,” Jacy King, program manager for See to Succeed, said in a statement. “When students put those glasses on, they do better academically, behaviorally, and better all around. Seeing that immediate impact is the best feeling of all.”Students receive their glasses from their home campuses after delivery.
“One of the goals of school nurses is to not only promote health for students, but to help students also achieve academically,” Melinda Hood, CFISD director of health services, said. “This is an event where the community comes together to help students achieve in the classroom. Seeing students ultimately receive their new set of glasses on their home campuses makes it all worth it.”
