From our Treasurer, Sylvia Cuellar:
Arlington High School
St. Paul, MN
A group of five D1s went to Arlington High School in St. Paul to speak to students in science classes. They spoke about careers in dentistry, general oral hygiene tips, offered some tips about getting into dental school,and of course gave about toothbrushes/toothpaste. The teacher emailed me after and was SO pleased with them and thought the students had really been impacted by them 
Arlington High School was established in 1996 to support a small learning community within a large high school—”a science, math, and technology magnet focus” that they call BioSMART. “Students are introduced to the bio industries, one of the largest growth areas in Minnesota, and core coursework emphasizing either medical & health sciences, business & marketing or engineering technology.”
Cinco de Mayo Festival
St. Paul, MN
We gave away tons of toothbrushes and toothpaste to older adults, teens, and kids all of ages. It was a lot of fun! A lot people had questions about where to go to find a dentist, where to find a dentist who spoke Spanish, and many people were surprised to learn that babies need to have their teeth brushed! We also had a lot of interest from mothers with babies and we gave them pamphlets about how to care for teeth of their kids.
For many years, Minneapolis was actually a sleepy city. This was before the Graves Hotel, W, condos, Seven, Solera, and 112 Eatery. One of the few places where you could go for a bite to eat after a hard night on the town (other than Perkins) was Little Tijuana…or Little T’s, as fans affectionately call it.
Located off Eat Street (Nicollet Ave), Little Tijuana is the location of this month’s Spanish Table! That’s right. This Friday, April 3rd at 6:30 pm. Amy Vibeto will be running the table so look for her happy face or e-mail her for more information vibet002(at)umn.edu.
