San Gabriel’s commitment to providing educational tools to 1st Graders continues with the most recent program. In November 2022 Bro David Yeager delivered kits to IGO Elementary School in Jarrell, TX. Accepting the kits was the School Nurse Heather Olson who planned the program and distribution of the dental kits.
The program was planned for Monday, December 12, 2022, in the school cafeteria.
All of the 1st graders assembled in the cafeteria to hear Nurse Olson explain good dental health. The children actively participated in the discussion answering questions presented by Nurse Olson. As their reward for being good listeners, the dental kits were distributed to all fo the 1st graders.

Greg Yalch, A. E. Chionsini, Walt Hebert, and Rusty Swanson served 8 ladies who attended. The ladies were served finger sandwiches of chicken salad, cucumber, and egg salad.
