Meeting with the PTA

Some ideas to consider if meeting with PTA members:

·         Contact the person in charge of the PTA newsletter at your assigned schools
o   Ask to include information about asthma and asthma resources in the newsletter
o   Write a sample of what you would like to be included in the newsletter and e-mail it to them
·         Visit the PTA monthly board meeting to discuss asthma resources available to the school and possible activities
o   Open Airways
o   Asthma School Resource Manual Training
o   Winning With Asthma
·         Send home parent information packets including:
o  Dusty the Asthma Goldfish activity book 
o   Idle-free campaign information
 http://www.idlefree.utah.gov/index.htm
o    Asthma-friendly cleaning supplies



·         Ask if the PTA would be willing to let you do an asthma activity at field day
o   Relay races including asthma facts
o   Capture the flag with asthma education
o   Red light green light with asthma triggers
