Testimonials Care to Learn provides resources to all students anon- ymously, however the following story is an example of support a student in one Chapter received:  A third grade student began experiencing tooth pain shortly before school closed in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The family was living pay- check to paycheck and did not have insurance, and thus were unable to afford treatment for the child’s tooth pain. When the district’s Care to Learn liaison learned of the situation, they were able to schedule treatment for the student immediately, and within two days the student was pain free!
