Middle and High School Students Mentor Kinders in Smile Care and Kindness!
Our Hobart Middle School Family & Consumer Science classes and Hobart High school Hobart High School Principles of Teaching and Teaching & Learning classes recently teamed up for a special community project with the kindergartners at the Hobart Early Learning Center.
As part of this project, our middle and high school students hand-sewed Tooth Fairy pillows and personally delivered them to the kindergarten students. During the visit, our mentor students also taught the kinders about the importance of good brushing habits and other healthy ways to care for their smiles. Their leadership, kindness, and creativity truly shined!
A special thank-you to Dr. Leonard Ostrowski III from Ridgewood Dental in Hobart for generously donating toothbrushes for every student in the ELC. Your support helped make this experience even more meaningful! We are so proud of our Brickies for giving back and leading with heart!
