It’s that time again, and no, I don’t mean the holidays. I am of course referring to the one and only, the beautiful, the rare, the elusive, the bright and shiny, the ASHE Award, for Achievement in School Health Excellence! This marks the third year we’ve awarded a school nurse, athletic trainer, or other health staff member, highlighting their contributions and accomplishments in school health. Past winners each received a grant for their school health center, as well as a personalized plaque. ASHE-Award_small

Students, teachers, and administrators alike depend on school nurses and health staff for everyday and emergency care, so take this opportunity to show your support. We’ll open for nominations January 6th and voting will decide the winners and finalists, which we’ll announce during National Nurses Week in May. Check out our ASHE Award page for all the rules and details.
