First-grade teacher Laura Roth went above and beyond to make sure a Shaler Area School District student got a visit from the Tooth Fairy.

Roth, a teacher at Burchfield Primary School, wrote a letter to the Tooth Fairy on Tuesday verifying that a student lost her tooth at school and then it was “tragically thrown away” in the “excitement and chaos of lunchtime.”

The letter begins, “I can confirm with full confidence and authority that Lily lost her tooth at school today.”

She said the school would keep an eye out for the tooth but doubted anyone would find it.

She encouraged the Tooth Fairy to reach out to her with any “questions or concerns.”

Assistant Superintendent Bryan O’Black commended the kindness of the teacher to take the time to write the letter for the student.
