We have some awesome news to share!
The Dental Health office at Gibson Area Hospital has received a grant from IDPH to help improve dental health for school aged children. They are using some of these funds to send supplies to local schools. Every 4th and 5th grade student will be bringing home a dental hygiene kit containing an electric toothbrush, floss, toothpaste, and mouthwash. Also some reminders about effective dental hygiene! We are very thankful to them for providing these supplies.







In February, our Pre-K Program had a monitoring visit from the ISBE. Our Program achieved the Gold Circle of Quality in ExceleRate, the quality recognition and improvement system.
Congrats to the 2022-2023 Pre-K Team: Mrs. Maubach, Mrs. Scaggs, Mrs. Nunamaker and Miss Cioni.
