Editor:
A very belated thank you to the Sweet Home Kiwanis for purchasing well over 100 pairs of shoes for school district kids in need. For many years the Kiwanis have provided this service to the community. This year the need was even greater than last year. As a result we have lots of dry feet and happy smiles. Thanks again for your financial generosity and care in providing for this need.
The school district would also like to thank the Wolthuis dental team for staffing the Northwest Medical Teams Dental Van in March. Over 15 students received free care on March 3. Thanks to all of the staff involved in giving kids their smiles back! The same many thanks goes to Dr. Goger and staff who hosted the clinic on April 14. Eleven children received wonderful, gentle dental care and left with a healthier mouth!
A final thanks to Greg Roe and the United Way, who paid for our April 14 Dental Van visit. We hope to collaborate again next year with the United Way for another van visit.
