Thank you, Twin Valley!
It has been a true honor to serve Twin Valley as a teacher and leader for the last 11 years. Each student, parent, and colleague that I have interacted with has helped me learn, grow, and continue to improve my craft. My deepest gratitude goes to the Twin Valley community for their support, encouragement, engagement, and acceptance. I will miss the students and staff dearly, and I look forward to seeing many of you at school events.

All my love,

Notes from the Nurse
May-National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month
The following information was obtained from Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA)
Quick Facts (Download Fact Sheet)
More than 100 million people in the United States have asthma and/or allergies. Some people may have more than one of these conditions.
More than 27 million people in the U.S. have asthma (more than 22 million adults and 4.5 million children).1,2
About 20 million people in the U.S. have food allergies (16 million adults and 4 million children).3,4
About 81 million people in the U.S. have rhinitis due to nasal allergies, also called “hay fever” (67 million adults and 114 million children).3,4
There is no cure for asthma or allergies.
These numbers paint a picture of how many people in the U.S. are managing asthma and allergies. But they don’t paint a picture of the overall impact these diseases have on people, their caregivers, and communities.
Get Empowered To Take Action
This year’s theme is empowering individuals, families, and the community to save and improve lives for people with asthma and allergies. Use our resources and tools to spread awareness during May and all year long!
