It was a very smooth day at Canton R-V Elementary School, as 240 students from the schools’ Early Childhood Development Program through the 6th grade received their second application of fluoride varnish for the 2011-2012 school year. According to Diane Jorgensen, RN, school nurse, “The six ‘seasoned’ volunteers were able to stay ahead of schedule throughout the day, giving us an opportunity to treat them to a leisurely lunch, as meager payment for a job well-done.” Pictured below is volunteer Carla Steinbeck, with student, Damen Laudell (1st photo) and again with student, Jacob Meyer (2nd photo).
