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.
Last Friday was the final Galena Rotary Student of the Quarter luncheon of the year and River Ridge was proud to have Janna Barrett represent our school!
