Parents and staff at Ridgefield Park Co-op Nursery School donated dental hygiene essentials, and their students worked together to assemble 75 Smile Packs for CFA guests. 🪥🎒

“The kids were so excited to help other kids that may not have access to these things,” shared a teacher at the school.

This is the second year Ridgefield Park Co-op Nursery School has organized a Smile Pack event, and we’re so grateful for their continued generosity and for helping teach the next generation the importance of giving back. 💜
