Students at Tots-N-Us Nursery School cheerfully look forward to their annual visit with Dr. Gina-Prokosch-Cook, who teaches them proper dental care during National Children’s Dental Health Month. The hands-on-learning experience with the happy, big toothy puppet had them all giggling, as they learned the proper way to hold their soft toothbrush, cleaning every part of the tooth including the front and back, at least twice a day. Also, it’s very important to floss each day, and maybe an adult could help, until it becomes a healthy habit.
Dr. Gina reminded them to have a well-balanced diet and to limit their sweets, because cavities are no fun, and to visit their dentist regularly, so they will have smiles that will always be happy. No wonder tots and teachers love Dr. Gina!
It is with sadness in our hearts that Coach Lane friends and neighbors have said farewell to Nadya Maisonet, a perfect lady, respected by all, for her friendliness and kindness, and was admired for her sincere smile that always welcomed neighbors to stop by and chat for a while. We offer deepest sympathy to her loving family: daughters Yolanda and Tanya, and son, Erik, and all her precious grandchildren and great grandchildren. May our God of eternal love bring them comfort, in the loss of a mother so dear. Nadya was blessed with a loving family and a strong faith, whose lessons of life guided her children through the years, and they are all simply wonderful. We hope you find peace in the treasured memories you all so lovingly shared. God bless you all!
