October Wellness Focus: Healthy Smiles, Brighter Days!

Happy Monday!

As we continue our October focus on Hygiene, the DPS #170 Wellness Committee is highlighting something that is an important part of our everyday health and wellness: taking care of our teeth and gums! 🦷

Good oral hygiene is about more than just having a healthy smile. Brushing twice a day, flossing regularly, drinking plenty of water, and making healthy food choices are all simple habits that can make a BIG difference in our overall health and well-being.

For our students and families, building these routines early helps establish healthy habits that can last a lifetime. Take a look at this week's Wellness Committee flyer for a few simple reminders that we can all put into practice at home and throughout our school community!

Remember, a healthy smile is just one more way we can take care of ourselves and those around us!

Healthy Minds 💜 Healthy Bodies 💜 Healthy Habits
