rules state must fund school buildings

the Idaho Supreme Court ruled Wednesday, Dec. 21.

Leslie McIntire, Cottonwood, a dental hygienist came
to speak to the sixth grade classes at Prairie Middle School about good
oral health. She talked to the students about how to care for their teeth
so that they can be healthy. She also presented information about
our diets and daily habits and how our teeth are affected by the different
types of food that we eat. Mrs. McIntire talked to the students about
the advances in dental science. She said that scientists are developing
tests of the saliva that will diagnose some forms of cancer as well as
Parkinson’s disease. The sixth grade students have been learning
about oral health in Science. Having a dental health care professional
in to speak was a great benefit to their learning about superior oral health.
The sixth grade class would like to thank Leslie for taking the time to
speak with them.
