Puppet Show
The SCDA, DHEC's Division of Oral Health and the Columbia Marionette Theater have joined forces to teach students about oral health through the use of the traveling puppet show, "Flora and Floppy go to the Dentist."  Would you like to join the team to educate students about oral health?  The puppet show is an ideal way to target specific areas of need in our state and is an effective instrument to educate students and their families about how to improve their oral health. 
 
The performances are designed for large groups of students with each performance reaching an average of 250 students.  The cost of the show is $225 with an additional fee of $25 for shows outside the Columbia area.  The theater is currently accepting requests for shows for the 2010 season.  Please consider becoming a sponsor of this unique initiative. 
 
For more information on the show contact, Mary Kenyon Jones, Educational Consultant, DHEC's Division of Oral Health, [email protected] or visit their website at http://www.scdhec.gov/health/mch/oral/puppet.htm.
