Tooth Fairy

Posted

Fairy Terri Weiss, with ninth grade helpers Victoria Fonseca, Aidan Skylstad, Abby Hinds, Molly Wiser,  does this for all of the kindergarten and preschool classes in Cascade School District. Weiss teaches why you should brush your teeth and how to brush. Each student gets a book, a toothbrush, tooth past and a song about brushing. Terri is the program manager of the Upper Valley Urgent Care dental program in Leavenworth, which is part of Upper Valley MEND. She started the tooth fairy project when she heard the national statistics that tooth decay is the leading cause for school absences for children. Terri wants people to know about the free urgent care dental program, so she started the tooth fairy program. She is supported by Rotary Club of Leavenworth.
