Raptors In the News:
Did you know GHS Senior, Asha Shehryar, successfully summited Manaslu, the 8th highest peak in the world, in Nepal. In the process, she became the youngest American, man or woman, to summit that Peak. You can read more about her accomplishment at this link.
Smiles Across Montana - Dental Clinic Opportunity
Smiles Across Montana is a non-profit mobile dental clinic that will be coming to GHS to provide dental care to interested students on October 1, 2nd and 3rd. They provide dental care for any students who are not receiving regular dental care for any reason. Registered dental hygienists who are under direct general supervision of a dentist, will come to our school with all of the equipment they need to provide preventive cleanings, fluoride varnish treatments, digital x-rays if needed, preventative cavity treatment, and preventive dental sealants. They also have an extensive referral system to help students' families find a dentist in the community, if needed. They take dental insurance, and have a scholarship fund to help pay for services when families can’t.
The consent form is linked here, and paper copies can be found at the Attendance and Main offices and the Nurse Office. Completed consent forms should be turned into the Main Office or to the School Nurse as soon as possible. Please click here to view the Smiles Across Montana website to learn more about this great organization. We hope to see you there!
