NEWS AND NOTES

           

OFFICIAL GROUNDHOG NEWS
We don't know whether Groundhog Punxsutawney Phil
will see his shadow at the
126th  annual
Groundhog Day celebration
in Pennsylvania, February 2
nd.
If he does, we will have six more weeks of Winter !!!
 
Remember:  Valentine's Day breaks the heart of winter!

   

 

Unfortunately, Phil is only accurate
39% of the time , SO you've probably still
got six more weeks of boots, hats, mittens,
scarves and snow pants.

DON'T FORGET!

FEBRUARY IS DENTAL HEALTH MONTH!

 

         

How do you keep your teeth healthy?

   
1. Brush your teeth at least twice a day.
2. Limit sugary foods and drink.
3. Eat crunchy foods such as raw carrots, apples and celery.  These foods help scale tartar from teeth.
4. Eat calcium rich foods such as cheese, milk, and dark green vegetables.  Calcium builds strong bones and teeth.
