Summer reading with Dr. Hildebrand

With summer finally here, some of us at Hildebrand Orthodontics wanted to remind all our patients about the importance of reading. After all, summer is a great time for kids to keep reading to maintain their skill level and prepare for the upcoming school year.

There are many inspiring reading programs available for kids in the Arlington, Mansfield, Grand Prairie and Fort Worth areas. For example, The Texas Library and Archives Commission Texas is hosting the Reading Club 2011 “Dig Up a Good Book.” You can find book lists, songs, coloring sheets, etc. that are linked to this year's theme.

Dr. Hildebrand & team, wishing you a safe and relaxing Memorial Day weekend

Memorial Day weekend, a time to remember and honor the men and women lost while serving for our country. Memorial Day is also the unofficial start of summer, and for many folks in the Arlington and Fort Worth areas, getting out of town for three days after being cooped up in the classroom or the office spells sweet, sweet relief.

What about you? What are you up to this Memorial Day weekend? Whether you are headed to a barbecue, a camping trip, or just hitting the great American open roads, we’d like to hear all about it!

Our entire team at Hildebrand Orthodontics wishes you a happy, safe and relaxing Memorial Day weekend!
