Oral Health Week 2015

Following a successful Science Week, we had our Oral Health Week at St. Fiach’s. Oral healthcare is often overlooked with our children so this proved to be a very worthwhile programme. Our teeth are vital for our speech, smile and chewing food. A special thanks must go to Mary from the HSE who spoke to every class in the school about the importance of taking care of our teeth. She was delighted to see our Health Promoting Flag outside our school. It is important that we eat healthy foods and brush twice daily to keep the plague and decay away! All children received a certificate for taking part in Oral Health Week. Maith Sibh!
