Sixteen high school students from the Atlantic County Institute of Technology (ACIT) visited our kindergarten to 4th grade classrooms on February 15 to teach students about the importance of dental hygiene, an educational visit facilitated by school nurse Carrie Jorgenson.
Jorgenson said the ACIT students gave 20-minutes presentations on dental hygiene and gave each student an oral hygiene kit that included a toothbrush and toothpaste.
“Our students loved the presentations that included using different animal puppets getting their teeth brushed,” Jorgenson said. “It was very effective and fun.”
Two ACIT teachers, Gaby Coslop and Jessica Crompton, accompanied the team of students, who are part of the ACIT Dental Assistant Concentration.
