BACK-TO-SCHOOL SMILE CHECK!

A healthy smile is a great way to start the school year!

The Indian Health Service Dental Department invites parents and caregivers to schedule a dental exam for your children.

Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene are an important part of your child’s overall health and well-being. A healthy mouth can help children feel comfortable, confident, and ready to learn.

WHY ARE DENTAL CHECKUPS IMPORTANT?

Regular dental exams can help:
• Find cavities and other dental concerns early
• Prevent tooth decay and gum problems
• Reduce the risk of toothaches and dental emergencies
• Keep teeth and gums clean and healthy
• Reinforce healthy brushing and flossing habits
• Support healthy eating, speaking, and smiling
• Help prevent dental problems that may lead to missed school days

HEALTHY HABITS START AT HOME

Encourage your child to:
• Brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
• Floss daily
• Limit sugary drinks and snacks
• Drink plenty of water
• Visit the dentist regularly for checkups and preventive care

Start the school year with a healthy smile and healthy habits!
We Love to See You Smile!

Sometimes all you need is a friend, a bench, and a little ZEN. 💚

Welcome to our NEW ZEN GARDEN!

Whether you're taking a quiet moment to think, sharing a conversation with a friend, or simply enjoying the peaceful space, our Zen Garden is here for everyone to enjoy.

Why a Zen Garden?
🌿 Encourages mindfulness and relaxation
🪨 Raking the gravel can be calming and therapeutic, helping reduce stress and improve focus.
💚 Provides a peaceful place to reset during a busy day.
🌸 Promotes reflection, gratitude, and emotional well-being.
🤝 Creates a welcoming space for friendship and connection.
🌞 Reminds us that sometimes the simplest moments are the most meaningful.

We're excited to share this new space with our students, staff, and visitors. We hope it becomes a place where peaceful minds, kind hearts, and meaningful conversations can grow. Plant friend donations welcome. 🙂

(And it looks like our first little Yaha friend has already found the perfect seat ! 🦫💚)
