Carrollton Early Childhood PTA Presents
The Crib Sheet

Volume 23, Issue 7 | March 2002

From the President... Sara Holland---972-394-7539 March is here and with it (we hope) will come a change in the season. The time is coming to get out and really start enjoying our parks and surroundings. We had a great time at our school Valentine's Day party and are still recovering from all of the goodies! March will also bring changes to the CECPTA organization. The nominating committee (which was elected at the January general meeting) has been hard at work preparing a slate of nominees to be voted on at the March meeting. So please, everybody come to the March meeting so that we have enough members to vote for the new board. It is not to late to express interest in a position, we need your talents to manage the activities of the CECPTA. After the new officers are elected, they will meet and put together their final recommendations for all of the additional chairperson positions. All of the new officers will assume their responsibilities at the May Officer Installation Brunch. As a final note, I want to say thank you to our Nominating Committee: Diana Talkington, Ann Lee, Shannon Croft, Lisa Rowell and Melanie Magee. We really appreciate the time that they have devoted to this process. Great job! Hope you all have a wonderful spring break!

Helping Your Children Have Healthy Teeth Beth Blake-Hedges---972-492-1846 This month's speaker will be Betsy Simpson from Children's Dental Specialists in Carrollton. She will be talking about dental care for the little ones, specifically when to start taking them to the dentist, whether to use fluoride or not, treatment for cavities, etc. She is married to Dr. Simpson and has worked in his office for 20 years. I don't know about you but I heard all kinds of different answers when I asked how old my child should be when I take him to the dentist for his first visit and didn't know how soon to take him in for his fluoride treatment and check-ups, so consequently, he ended up with a few tiny cavities. Fortunately, going to the dentist for kids is a lot less painful and traumatic than it was for us and Ms. Simpson will be on hand to tell you just what to expect for your child's first check-up. Even if you have already taken your children to the dentist, she will be there to answer any questions you might have on preventive oral hygiene and braces and all those other problems our children can potentially face.

Please join us at the General Meeting on Friday, March 8th, 2002 at 9:30am Betsy Simpson will talk about "Helping Your Children Have Healthy Teeth" Holy Covenant Church 1901 Peters Colony, Carrollton, TX Call Kristin Eoff for nursery reservations at 972-417-0088.
