The following posters are from Mrs. Bertsch’s Third Grade Class in Ventura Elementary. They made them based on the National Children’s Dental Health theme “Defeat Monster Mouth” These posters, now featured online, were placed on the wall at my dental office through March 2015.
This is a special presentation because it marks the end of an era of posters made by her class for Dental Health Month. Mrs. Bertsch is retiring this year and I applaud her dedication to good dental health since I came to Mason City in 1989.”
