Don't forget that this week is Read Across America Week!

Dental Safari will be returning to the school on March 3rd for the students they weren't able to see last visit, as well as students who need urgent work. They will provide me with a list of students who could potentially be seen and they will be reaching out to parents this week. This is not a guarantee that every child that needs corrections will be seen. The Dental Safari team will do their best to provide care to as many students as they can! If you have any questions, please contact me by phone or email.
