December 2012 Nurse’s Note



Give Kids a Smile 2013 


Give Kids a Smile is a charitable program coordinated by the Minnesota Dental Association to provide free care to low-income children in need. The two-day, statewide event is Friday, Feb. 1, and Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013. A few clinics plan to provide care on later dates in February.

The Association is committed to doing what it can to make quality care accessible to every child in Minnesota.

After Jan. 1, a list of participating dental clinics will be available on this website or by calling United Way 2-1-1 (or 1-800-543-7709). Once the list is available, you should find the clinic that best fits your needs and location, then call to make an appointment for your child(ren).


Please be sure that your child is dressed for outside recess. Remember that Minnesota weather is variable. Proper outdoor attire includes a jacket, hat and gloves. When it snows you will also need boots and snow pants!

Students will always go outdoors for recess unless the “Feels Like” temperature falls below a -5 degrees or it is steadily raining. All elementary schools will use the KARE11 website to determine the “Feels Like” temperature.


Have a happy and safe holiday!
