In honor of Dental Awareness Month, we will be working along with Smiles for a Lifetime, to share content and resources to help you keep your smile in check. A healthy smile affects more than your appearance, your oral health affects the rest of your body. So it's important to
take good care of your teeth and gums. This month, we’re reminding our students and families about the importance of brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups. Let’s build healthy habits that last a lifetime! Check out the Smiles for a Lifetime Newsletter and our social media channels for more tips and advice!

There were several stations set up for our students to see the various opportunities that Salkehatchie offers. As they rotated to each table, they learned about different studies and the career paths they can lead to. Plus, they had the chance to chat with current students to get a real feel for college life! We hope this experience inspires them to consider Salkehatchie for their next steps, but no matter where they go, we’ll make sure they’re prepared for success! Huge thanks to USC Salkehatchie for the warm welcome and invaluable insights! #CollegeReady #TogetherWeCanDoThis
