PRINCE GEORGE – Like every child, Gavin lost his tooth, except for Gavin the tooth was lost.

Literally.

A search party was assembled in his Kindergarten class at Hart Highlands Elementary in Prince George to try and find the missing mandible, but to no avail.

Luckily for his Vice-Principal Shandee Whitehead, this missing tooth inspired a letter to the tooth fairy.

The letter confirmed Gavin had indeed lost the tooth, and that payment was expected, of course at the standard exchange rate.

Gavin says the tooth fairy did come, and exchange the letter for a toonie.

The five-year-old says he’s not sure what he’ll buy, instead hinting to his parents he was hoping to find a Rubik’s Cube under his pillow instead.

For his Vice-Principal at Hart Highlands it was mission accomplished.
