Excellence Awards

The CSNO strategic plan calls for building bridges with entities and organizations that support school nursing and health services. As a means to build these bridges and recognize the support entities provide to promote school nursing and health services, CSNO is expanding our awards and recognition program. All award deadlines for the Sections are November 1st.

Each CSNO section will nominate a school board member, superintendent, administrator (i.e. director, principal), parent/family/student or community partner who has advocated or supported school health services and/or school nursing. Community Partners will be recognized at the section conference. CSNO State will also identify a community partner, who will be recognized at the CSNO State Conference.
