Has it been more than 6 months since your child has been to the dentist? Sign them up TODAY for the Mobile Dentist who will be at school this Thursday and Friday. Forms are in each of the offices and can be sent home with your student. If they need dental work, Cats Care will be helping with that. Students must see the Mobile Dentist to be eligible for help.
