FEB Monthly News Letter


This month we will reward you for wearing red!  By wearing red you’ll get an extra coin.  Remember to come join us at our annual Skating bash.  February is also children’s dental health month.  So please make sure your bi-yearly check ups have been made for this year. Dentist day is March 6th so give them a beautiful clean smile.

Ground Hog Day is February 2nd.  This is the day when a ground hog does the weather forecasting.  If he doesn’t see his shadow, 6 more weeks of winter; but if he sees his shadow, spring is on its way.
President’s Day
This is a day to honor our president and those of the past.  This year their special day is celebrated on the 16th of February.


Share the love of Valentines with your sweetie pie on the 14th.  Show off your beautiful Century Smile and take pictures.  We will be happy to share them.  Remember braces and Invisalign are beautiful.

Mardi Gras
February 18th St. Louis celebrates Mardi Gras with a parade in downtown Soulard.  This parade takes place from 11am-2pm.  St Louis hosts the second largest Mardi Gras celebration in the world.  Please visit
www.stlmardigras.org

Update
Please remember to help us update our files.  If you have moved, changed insurance or changed your phone number, please let one of our staff members know so that you can fill out a new history form.  THANK YOU! J Please see your regular dentist every 6 months for a cleaning.  Even if you have braces, you still need to have a dental cleaning.



St. Louis Mills
When it’s too cold to play outside, make a trip to the St. Louis Mills Mall.  This mall offers more than just shopping.  There are activities for young and old such as ice-skating, indoor playgrounds, a skateboarding park and a full size movie theatre.   For more activities or information please visit the website.  www.stlouismills.com
Indoor Winter Fun
During the winter it makes it hard to keep kids active and to have a good time.  Please try these activities: Barnes & Noble has story times and book clubs for children and adults. Michael’s has arts and crafts for kids on Saturday’s, or you can also check out www.familyfun.go.com.

Book Crossing
Do you have books that you have read but don’t know where to keep them after they have been read?  Book Crossing has the perfect idea.  The first step is to read the book then after you have read the book, register the book at: www.bookcrossing.com and tag it with a BCID.  After you have registered your book, release it into the wild or give it to a friend and watch where it goes forever.  Book Crossing makes it fun to read and also helps bring books alive to those around the world.  Watch your book travel for miles and see how many books you can release.  Let’s try to see if we can make Missouri the top book exchange state in the USA.
 Best Thing Ever!
The Best thing this season to get the person who you may have thought had everything is Rain Boots.  You may have thought why would anyone ever wear these silly things.  Here is the answer: Have you ever went to a Mardi Gras parade or St. Patrick’s Day parade and realized that it is raining or snowing and your shoes and feet are going to get wet?  Well here is the answer if you have these wonderful Rain boots you can go to the parade without a care in the world about your feet getting wet.  They are surprisingly comfortable and warm.  They come in so many fun colors and styles.  They range in prices so everyone can own a pair of these fun shoes!


Things to look forward to in St. Louis in the month of March:
March 13th at Union Station celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. 
Don’t forget to wear all the green you can this month and receive extra Ortho lotto tickets. 
Be prepared to guess how many coins are in the pot of gold.
This month sparks the  start of our Scavenger Hunt.  By participating you will get the chance to receive extra coins and get the chance to win a super prize at the end of the summer.  Past winners received digital cameras or digital cam corders.  This year will be giving away something super exciting.
Going Green
March is also a time to go GREEN another way.  There are so many ways to help make this planet healthier and save it for the children of the future if we just give a little time to make better choices.  I have found a few educational websites that I will post in the office to help make it easier to do a little good for our planet.
