Wellness News!
The youngest members of the Kipps family are working on healthy teeth. The Preschool class brushes their teeth after lunch daily. With the help of the classroom staff and their fourth grader buddies, students are encouraged to brush properly.
The first week of the brushing program the students practiced on Nurse Parker’s big fake teeth. Nurse Parker taught them about good eating habits and what food choices are healthy. They watched a movie about how to prevent cavities.
Each student received new toothbrushes, toothbrush holders and toothpaste for use at school.
