World of Difference students, some of our middle school WOD students went to Florence Roche this past Saturday to assist with the Winter Fair. We were told that our “students, who came to help, were AMAZING. They were excellent ambassadors for your program. I heard several students explaining WOD to parents, who were curious, and I received numerous compliments from parents, who were impressed with your students’ behavior. The students were kind, polite, alert and willing to engage with the public.” Thank you for sharing this confetti moment with us Ms, Moore and thank you to the families that facilitated our students going to help.
Therapy Dogs,
Our District Social Worker Ms. Schultz Bray has been bringing her Therapy Dog Bear to the middle school since last year. We now have the exciting opportunity to meet her other Zoey. Zoey just received her therapy dog certification. She is only allowed to bring one dog at a time, per the Alliance of Therapy Dog rules. She will still bring Bear but please let your students know that they may start to see a golden retriever around campus too. Exciting stuff. Here is a letter from Ms Schultz Bray.
