From Mrs. Oprysko's Class Dr. Matt Mazzawi from Mazzawi Family Dentistry in Snellville visited with the kindergarten classes in February in celebration of Dental Health month. He talked to the students about taking care of their teeth and a career in dentistry. The children enjoyed his visit and the goody bags he brought each student included a tooth brush, dental floss, and an activity book about dental health. Thank you Dr. Matt for coming to Grayson Elementary! He really brightened our smiles! Rose Marie Oprysko 2268 East Main Street Snellville, GA 30078 back to top |
