The funds raised will support programs for individuals and families, school nurses, and child care providers to help New Englanders live better with food allergies and asthma.

 

Ask your PTO, school or other parents to join you in recognizing your school nurse.

Your child needs an 

 

Asthma Action Plan at school!

 

 

An Asthma Action Plan is the tool you need to help keep your child healthy.

 Your school nurse needs an Asthma Action Plan to take better care of your child.

 If you haven't already done so, make an appointment with your child's doctor and give a copy of your child's current written Asthma Action Plan to the school nurse.
