Oral health is too often ignored. Poor oral health has been shown to be a major health issue. It impacts how children feel, learn and can even affect their future career success and their long term overall health! The Forsyth for Life! program includes fun activities and curriculum to help kids learn about oral health.
World-class educators have developed our kindergarten and first grade curriculum, which has been designed to compliment state learning standards. It’s a great way for children to learn about health, helping others and practice their reading and writing skills.
Classroom activities underscore the importance of oral health and help promote preventive techniques. Next, children bring home their workbooks along with a Tooth Fairy Bank template, which can be used to collect spare change (at home) for needy children. Schools can also recognize the children’s contributions with a special celebration: The Tooth Fairy Ball!
Forsyth for Life! also has great programs for 4th grade, 8th grade and 11th grade students. Stay tuned to learn about adopting these programs in your school.
