Dentist Visits

We love when we are able to interact with the community around us! A huge thank you to Derby City Pediatric Dentistry for coming out this morning to talk to our Pre-K classrooms! We learned all about brushing our teeth and the importance of dental care. 🪥February is National Children's Dental Health Month to help raise awareness about the importance of oral hygiene for children. It promotes establishing habits like twice-daily brushing, regular dental visits, and healthy eating to prevent tooth decay, which is highly prevalent in children. Do you have your bi-annual appointment scheduled?
Book Drive

Og's Bountiful book Drive

We loved being able to spread a little joy beyond our classrooms! Our Area Director and Director dropped off over 700 books to The Book Spot Bus, Inc. that were collected during our Og's Bountiful Book Drive last month. The Book Spot Bus gives away new and gently used books in order to ignite, foster and sustain the love of reading around Louisville and to those in need!  Thank you to all of our families who dontated and helped make this possible! We couldn't do it without you!
