Nurse Improves Student Health
The Edenton-Chowan
Board of Education and its
administrative staff believe
that attaining and main
taining a high level of
physical well-being enables
the school child to work at
his maximum capacity in
the classroom and to grow
into healthy, happy and
productive adults. For the
past six years, the im
portance of student health
has been evidenced through
the position of a registered
nurse, who coordinates
supportive health services
within the school system.
Mrs. Ann Hare has served in
this capacity for the past
two years.
As a school nurse, Mrs.
Hare works closely with the
local Health Department,
the District Health
Department, other health
agencies and private
physicians in providing
health services, health
education and a healthful
physical environment for
school children. One area of
concentration for health
services is that of teeth.

According to Mrs. Hare,
an additionid service in the
area of dental health
education is now being
brought to Edenton-Chowan
Schools by Dr. Jasper
Lewis, Pedodontist, of
Greenville. Dr. Lewis has
offered, twice a month, the
free services of Ann Griffin,
a Dental Health Educator on
his staff. Mrs. Griffin will
visit K-12 classrooms, on a
schedule established by
Mrs. Hare with a dental
educational program em
phasizing preventive
dentistry and providing
career occupational in
formation in the field of
dentistry.
As a pedodontist, Dr.
Lewis specializes in the care
of children’s, adolescents’
and handicapped children’s
teeth. A strong point in Dr.
Lewis’ philosophy of den
tistry is that preventing
dental problems in children
is as equally important as
correcting dental problems.
Dr. Lewis’ belief in his
philosophy is evidenced
through his loaning his

“Mrs. Griffin’s services,
in addition to those which
have been provided by the
District Health Department
for years, will enable more
students in the Edenton-
Chowan system to be better
educated about dental
care,” Ann Hare explained.
Pam Pritchard, better
known to students in this
area as the “Tooth Fairy”,
continues to coordinate with
fifteen school principals in
four coutnies, dental health
education services to K-6

requests for services at high
grade levels, Pritchard is
available. She visits the

There are a couple of
events coming up in Raleigh
in the near future that many
of you may be interested in.
The first is the 4th annual
Southeastern No-Till
System Conference to be
held at McKimmon Center
at North Carolina State
University on November 24.
This program will em
phasize no-till production of
corn, soybeans, and forages
from a North Carolina view
point.
No-till and other reduced
tillage systems are in
creasing in their importance
in our various cropping
systems, especially from a
conservation and water
quality aspect. This should
make the conference
especially important to the
farmers and agribusiness
people of this area.
Another event that should
be of interest is the 18th
