Each February, the American Dental Association (ADA) sponsors National Children's Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health. NCDHM messages and materials have reached millions of people in communities across the country.

Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.
 

All February long, Bertie County students will make Thank You cards for someone extra
special in their lives this year—their school bus drivers. To thank the men and women
who take more than 2500 children safely to schools each day, the American School Bus
Council (ASBC) is encouraging students, parents and teachers to “love the bus” in
February and recognize their school bus drivers.

The Love the Bus program is celebrated throughout February in Bertie County and other
districts across the country as a way to raise awareness and appreciation for the hundreds
of thousands of school bus drivers across the country who safely transport children to and
from school each day onnearly half a million school buses, the largest and safest transportation
system in the country.
