A heartfelt thank you to Barbara Pennington, our State of Alaska School Health Nurse Consultant, and Cyde Coil, Alaska Department of Education &  Early Development Nutrition Coordinator for helping ASNA obtain a grant award, which will be used to fund educational and membership opportunities for School Nurses in Alaska. This funding award is from the CDC 1801 School Health and Academic Achievement Grant that is administered through the Alaska Department of Education & Early Development. We will be using this funding to provide educational opportunities for Alaska School Nurses which will ultimately and positively impact the children of Alaska by helping school nurses fund the cost of the ASNA conference, but there is more!

We have another wonderful announcement! These funds also will provide 200 School Nurses a FREE ASNA/NASN Membership for a year!
