PROJECTS
Dental clinic at Peres Elementary school
It’s been so wonderful seeing so many of our Peres Elementary students in the clinic lately — both for their routine check-ups and for treatment. Keeping those smiles healthy is always our favorite part of the job! 😊
A huge congratulations to all of the students on making it to the end of the year — you worked hard and you deserve to celebrate! 🎉
And to those graduating and moving on to a new school — we are so proud of you! Wishing you all the best on this exciting next chapter. No matter where you go, we’ll always be cheering you on! 💚
Keep smiling, keep brushing, and have an amazing summer! ☀️
🙏 A special thank you to Principal West for your leadership and dedication to these students, @richmondcarotary, @westcontracostaedfund, and @kaiserpermanente for your incredible guidance and support. None of this would be possible without you
💙!
