Mobile Dentist is Coming Back!

 

The Mobile Dentist program is a great opportunity for your son(s) and or daughter(s) to be seen by a dentist while at school! Every child should be seen by a dentist twice a year.  If you choose to participate your child will have their teeth cleaned, x-rays taken, sealants placed (as needed) and will be examined by a dentist.  The Mobile Dentist program accepts most forms of insurance including Medicaid, if you do not have insurance there is a grant program your child could qualify for.  Please review the permission form, complete if interested and return by February 13th.  If you have questions, please feel free to contact Linda Reynolds the Nurse at 614.836.4975.
Freeze Fest

First Baptist Church in Groveport is offering a free day of fun for your child who is in K - 6th grade on February 16th from 8:00 am - 6:00 pm. Children will have a jam-packed day of adventure, activities, food, and music.  Register by Feb. 8th at fbcgroveport.com or call 614.491-8236.
Gold Slips
Gold Slips are given to students by staff members for many reasons. February Gold Slips will be given for showing the character trait of caring.  Students can demonstrate this characteristic by being kind, compassionate, thankful, forgiving, and helpful. Students come to the office and put their gold slip in our Treasure Box. Every Friday, the Principal picks 15 -20 Gold Slips from the Treasure Box and calls those students to the office for a prize. Gold Slip winners for Feb. 6th will be in the newsletter next week.
