On March 5th & 6th Cats Care held a free dental clinic for the RR students. They hired Jet Dental to come to RR for the second year in a row to provide dental exams, x-rays, cleanings, and restorative care to students. Over those two days 32 students had cleanings, x-rays, and exams. Some of those students also received restorative care including filling 25 cavities, completing 26 sealants and 8 extractions. All of this work was provided free of charge to our students and their families.
Cats Care was able to provide these services to our students through a grant funded by the Delta Dental Foundation. The goal of this clinic was to help families provide dental care close to home as well as reduce or remove the pain that some students were in. We all hope that the students understand how much everyone cares about them and their needs.

As a reminder, community groups awarding scholarships are asked to confirm their scholarship recipients and the names of any individuals who will be presenting the scholarship to Ms. Brzezinski if they haven't already done so. We can't wait to see you there!
