Nurse News
A BIG thank you to Valley Pediatric Dentistry, (Palmer) and Dr. Doug (Bowen) taking the time to instruct our kindergartners, 1st and 2nd graders the importance of keeping their teeth healthy.
This was a wonderful and timely presentation that all our students would have benefited from, right before Halloween is upon us.
