FROM THE NURSE HEAD LICE FACTS: Head lice
are insects that are found on the hair of humans.
Head lice live close to the human scalp and move by
crawling very quickly. They DO NOT jump or fly.
Head lice are spread by direct contact with the hair
of an infested person. Personal hygiene or cleanliness
in the home or school has nothing to do with getting
head lice. Nits (also known as the eggs) are oval or
teardrop in shape, very small (about the size of a knot
in thread), and are yellow-brown or white in color.
Nits are firmly attached at the base of the hair shaft
with a cement-like substance. The adult louse is about
the size of a sesame seed and light brown in color, but
the color can vary depending on hair color. Teach your
children the following good habits to follow: NEVER
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Arena.

Give Kids a Smile Day
Concerned about the growing number of children who are unable to access needed dental care, Dr. Susan Royer and Staff will provide free dental care to less fortunate children on Friday, February 7th from 8am to 1 pm at her office at 9291 E. 109th Ave, CP. Dr. Royer and Staff have participated in this program for 7 years. Dr. Royer is among hundreds of dentists across the state that have volunteered to pro-vide free dental care for the 11th Annual Give Kids a Smile Day. Dentists are coming together to offer this day of free care to make a healthy difference in the lives of children, while raising awareness of the growing number of families who don’t have access to dental care. We know we cannot treat all of the patients needing care in a single day, but our goal is to raise aware-ness of the problem and help as much as we can.
