Alice Costello visit







Today I began my kick-off for National Children's Dental Health month(February.) I am starting off in my home town of Brooklawn, at Alice Costello Elementary School, where I will be visiting every class from K-3. Normally I volunteer every Friday to do my school presentations, however the month of February I will be visiting different schools throughout NJ and PA every Monday and Friday, so that I can try to reach out to as many children as possible during this month. The children were very excited to learn about their teeth today, but they were more excited at the fact that Mrs. New Jersey was in their very own classroom. This is why I do what I do, I feel that I can help them to understand the importance of a healthy smile without the "crown", but the "crown" sure helps when I am trying to set an example for them.
