Deadline Extended, Asthma Poster and Mascot contests

The poster contest deadline has been extended to April 25th. All posters must be received by April 25th. I'd love to see some homeschooler entries!

As far as the mascot contest, we need homeschool representation. This can be a great project for any homeschool group.
