OHIO
PTA SCHOOL NURSE AWARD
School
nurses protect and promote student health - they are the school leaders who
bridge healthcare and education by coordinating care for your student enabling
them to be successful academically! If
your school is fortunate enough to have a school nurse, consider recognizing
this person with the Ohio PTA School Nurse Award.
Please
make copies and distribute to students. Ask your principal and teachers for their
involvement! There may be many different essays applauding your school nurse.
Submit all forms together in one packet from your PTA/PTSA to the Ohio PTA
Office by February 1, 2019. One school nurse will be selected to receive this
special award.
