Health Office News and Notes:
October is National Dental Hygiene Month. I would like to share these dental tips for a healthy smile: Brush at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. Remember that brushing regularly promotes a clean mouth and fresh breath. Floss every day. Visit your dentist regularly. Email me you need assistance finding a local dental provider. sschakel@mpspk12.org

Read to Me Program at KCC!

Read to Me at KCC is an early childhood literacy program where volunteers read to pre-K children to increase exposure of the children to books, pictures and stories and foster a love for reading. Twice each month we go into the classrooms and read one-on-one to a child. The commitment is about 2 hours every two weeks, typically on Thursdays from around 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm.

"As a volunteer myself, I can say that it is both rewarding and fun. The children (and teachers!) are always very excited to see us as we bond over the course of the year. It's wonderful to see the children engage and watch their imaginations emerge." -Collette Shaw

PreK Field Trip to The Barn on Benson's Pond

Benson’s Pond is a family-run farm, working cranberry bog, wedding venue, and proud member of the Ocean Spray Cooperative in Middleboro, MA. Our PreK students learned more about cranberries and how they are harvested. Cranberries are one of 3 fruits native to North America, along with blueberries and concord grapes, and one of only 2 native fruits grown on Cape Cod.
