I would like to give a shout out to Veronica Ponce Tecalero for all the tremendous effort she is doing to share about the Celebrate Smiles dental program with the families of her school she is working at as the Nurse Assistance. The program has a new way for parents to complete the form in order for their child to participate with the dental program. The program is using a fillable link form, and Veronica has share the link and encouraging the families to use the link instead of the paper form. Henderson is one of the first schools that has been using the link more.
We are very thankful with you Veronica for all the effort you are doing so students can participate in the dental program. I am very very happy to be working with you!!! -G.M
