Coloring Contest Winners

Dr. Carl Jeffery and Dr. Jessica Jeffery-Mohr are very happy to announce that Elliot Boroff, a kindergartener at Grover Hill Elementary, was the first place winner and Laci Roby of Delphos Jefferson, was the second place winner of the coloring contest to celebrate National Children’s Dental Health Month.  Elliot received a $100 gift certificate to Wal-mart Supercenter and Laci received a $50 gift certificate to Wal-mart Supercenter for their great drawings. 

13 schools participated this year. The contest included preschoolers to first graders from Lincolnview, Grover Hill Elementary, Convoy Preschool, First United Methodist Preschool, Delphos Jefferson, Parkway, Washington Elementary of Van Wert, Jefferson Elementary of Van Wert, Franklin Elementary of Van Wert, Vantage Preschool, Wee Care Learning Center, Calvary Preschool, and Thomas Edison.  There were 833 who participated in the coloring contest and 1337 dental kits were given to the kids during the program!  During the months of February and March, Dr. Jessica Jeffery-Mohr visited the schools and gave out kits that included a sticker, pencil, and toothbrush.  The children learned about going to the dentist and how to keep cavities away with proper oral hygiene and diet. 

Boroff was very excited to receive the $100, and Principle Alan Lautzengeiser and kindergarten teacher Kim Walls were thrilled to learn the great news about one of their students.  Laci’s teacher, Joyce Wiechart, and the principal, Mr. Damon Ulm, were very excited for their Delphos Jefferson student as well.
