Future literacy funding seems secure.  The 2008 budget, which takes effect July 1 and is presently pending the Governor’s signature, contains sufficient funding to keep all adult literacy personnel on the job in FY08.

The Dental Assisting Students from Swainsboro Technical College visited Twin City Elementary School. They discussed oral health with Pre-K through the 3^rd grade using posters with visuals to instruct the children on how to take good care of their teeth by brushing, flossing, eating good foods and visiting their dentist regularly. The Dental Assisting students had to prepare their poster presentations as well as provide the teacher with an activity sheet to assist the students in learning about their dental health. 

"As part of the Dental Assisting Program at Swainsboro Technical College the students are required to deliver presentations on Dental Health," commented Mrs. Coleman, Dental Assisting Instructor at Swainsboro Technical College. "We are appreciative of the opportunity to talk to the students at Twin City Elementary School. It was a good experience for our students to interact with theses children."
