students with dogs

Last Friday, November 14th, four therapy dogs brought joy and relaxation to our grade 2 and 3 students!

Why it matters: The presence of therapy dogs can significantly reduce stress and anxiety levels among students and staff.

  • They provide comfort and emotional support, creating a warm and welcoming environment.

  • They help children develop social skills, increase self-confidence, and encourage communication.

The big picture: This initiative is part of our commitment to enhancing mental well-being and fostering a supportive school culture.

What’s next: Preschool, kindergarten, and first-grade classes will be visiting with the dogs during their next visit!
