Arlington Education Foundation & Belmont Orthodontics Partnership
Belmont Orthodontics continues to be an AEF Platinum Sponsor
Since 2005, Dr. Carolyn Melita has invested in the teachers and students of the Arlington Public Schools. As owner of Belmont Orthodontics & Belmont Pediatric Dentistry since 1994, she is personally committed to investing in strong public education. Dr. Melita has demonstrated that commitment by donating $5,000 to the Arlington Education Foundation for the second year in a row.
Belmont Orthodontics & Belmont Pediatric Dentistry are the foundation’s single largest benefactors, having more than doubled the lifetime charitable donations of any other Arlington Education Foundation business partner.
“As a member of the Arlington community, I see the impact that the Arlington Education Foundation is having in the Arlington Public Schools,” remarked Dr. Melita. “Their work is valuable and essential, and I am thrilled to continue to partner with them and assist with the funding needed to support critical efforts like their Safe & Supportive Schools partnership with the district. It’s initiatives like this - ones that affect the mental health of every student in the Arlington Public Schools - that truly make a difference in our community.”
