Therapy dog visits PK classroom

Head of School Chris Elliot brought his Golden Retriever therapy dog, named Jersey, to the pre-kindergarten classroom this morning. Jersey, a trained dog with Pets for People, provides comfort and helps lower stress levels of the people she visits. She works about once a week with senior citizens, college students, and individuals with cerebral palsy. Mr. Elliot started the visit by reading a story called “Hardworking Puppies” and ended the visit with opportunities for everyone to pat Jersey.
