And the 10 school classes that bring in the most candy will each get a pizza party.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>To prevent rampant cavities and ease the blow of forfeiting some Halloween treats, the folks at Great Smiles are hosting a Halloween candy buyback where they are paying North County kids $1 for each pound of candy they bring in. Continuing their commitment to the community and its children, when kids drop off their candy they can simply say what school and teacher they have to be entered into a North Country-wide competition. When it\u2019s all said and done, the 10 classes that bring in the most candy win a pizza party while the school with the most candy donated on its behalf will win a $500 donation.\u00a0Anyone under 18 can donate candy, with a maximum of 5lbs per person. They don\u2019t have to be Great Smiles patients or even say what school\/class they attend (unless they it to count towards the contest). That\u2019s it. Less candy consumed equals less cavities and more healthy, great smiles in the community.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sounds like a great way to get the kids into the office and much less painful than the usual way.
