As the fall semester begins, Potter Orthodontics is proud to launch a full slate of Back-to-School initiatives designed to celebrate and support students, teachers, and families in its service area. With a teacher nomination contest, school-supply donations, and event sponsorships at local schools’ Back-to-School nights, the practice is reaffirming its commitment to education, community, and healthy smiles.
“At Potter Orthodontics, we believe that a confident smile and a strong education go hand in hand,” said Dr. Jeffrey Potter, founder of Potter Orthodontics. “Supporting students and teachers as school begins is one small way we can give back to the neighborhoods we love and help build a brighter future—one smile at a time.”
Back-to-School Teacher Contest: Nominate & Win a Year of School Supplies
From [start date] through [end date], Potter Orthodontics invites students, parents, and community members to nominate an exceptional teacher who goes above and beyond to inspire students. One winning teacher will receive a year’s supply of school supplies—delivered in quarterly packages to support their classroom throughout the school year.
How it works:
- Visit the Potter Orthodontics website or social media pages and submit a short nomination (100–200 words) explaining why your teacher deserves this award.
- Include the teacher’s name, school, grade level, and contact information (or have a parent/principal share with permission).
- Potter Orthodontics will review all submissions and announce the winner by [announcement date].
- The winner will receive school-supply bundles worth approximately [estimated dollar value] every quarter.
This contest is more than a giveaway—it’s a celebration of teachers’ dedication and an expression of gratitude for the many ways educators shape young lives. Potter Orthodontics hopes the contest will help shine a spotlight on exceptional educators and bring the community together.
Giving Back: School-Supply Donations to Students in Need
In conjunction with the contest, Potter Orthodontics hosted a Back-to-School community drive to collect essential school supplies for students who may not be able to afford them. Through contributions from staff, patients, and local partners, the practice assembled and distributed hundreds of supply kits to children in need across Orange County.
Distribution took place via local schools, community centers, and partner nonprofits. Many of the kits included backpacks, notebooks, pencils, pens, crayons, glue, rulers, and other classroom staples. The goal was simple: ensure that every student starts the school year with the tools they need to succeed.
“When students don’t have pencils or paper, they can’t fully engage in class,” said Dr. Potter. “We’re honored to help remove that barrier and set more children up for success.”
Potter Orthodontics has committed to making this an annual tradition, growing the donation drive each year with more community partners, higher volume, and greater impact.
School Sponsorships & Participation in Back-to-School Nights
Beyond its internal contest and donation drive, Potter Orthodontics is actively participating in local schools’ Back-to-School nights and events, including:
- Sponsoring informational booths and refreshments
- Providing giveaways such as branded pens, water bottles, and small study tools
- Donating raffle prizes and goodies to encourage student and parent engagement
- Sending team members to attend and share orthodontic health tips
These sponsorships are occurring across multiple schools in Yorba Linda, Fullerton, and surrounding neighborhoods. By showing up in person, the practice aims to deepen its roots in the community, support school administrators, and personally connect with families.
One such evening at [School Name] featured a Potter Orthodontics booth where attendees could grab free school supplies, enter into a draw for a free orthodontic consultation, and pick up educational handouts on healthy oral habits for kids and teens.

- Education & health: In addition to Back-to-School efforts, Potter Orthodontics provides patient education on oral hygiene, retention, and long-term even alignment, so orthodontic outcomes last.
By integrating community outreach with its professional work, Potter Orthodontics hopes to elevate the standard of neighborhood care—one patient, one student, one teacher at a time.
