Free fluoride treatments administered by the Health Occupations II class are giving students plenty to smile about at L’Anse Area Schools (LAS). A grant from the Delta Dental Foundation is covering the cost of fluoride treatments for elementary school students throughout the UP this year and next. At L’Anse, the high school Health Occupations II class is enjoying the added benefit of valuable hands-on experience by working with participants. Intro to Health Occupations and Health Occupations II are geared for students interested in a career in the health field. They’re taught by LAS Nurse and HOSA Advisor Laura Schneider, who has administered the fluoride treatment in the schools for over 20 years, now with help from her students.
