Masons donate toothbrush kits to NSES students

Members of the Albany Masonic Lodge visited Nancy Smith Elementary School on Friday, Oct. 31, to deliver toothbrush kits and share a lesson on oral health with students. With many children dressed in their Halloween costumes, it proved to be a fitting day to learn about taking care of teeth before an evening filled with candy.

As part of the visit, school nurse Heather Nitschke spoke with first-grade students about the importance of brushing and demonstrated proper techniques to help keep their smiles healthy.

The Lodge’s statewide mission is to “improve the quality of life for children and families of Texas” through oral health education and hygiene resources. Representatives encouraged students to build strong daily habits at home, and parents received information to support those efforts.
