This week, Mrs. Weaver spent time talking with our students about an extra-special member of our school family: Gracey the service dog! 🐶✨
Students learned all about the crucial job Gracey does every day and how we can all support her while she’s on duty. Mrs. Weaver shared a few important guidelines for everyone to keep in mind:
She’s hard at work: When Gracey is wearing her vest, she’s focusing on her job.
Hands off while working: To help Gracey concentrate, students learned why it’s important not to pet, call, or distract her.
Calm & respectful environment: Keeping quiet voices and giving Gracey space allows her to do her job safely and effectively.
Our students did a fantastic job listening, asking great questions, and showing so much respect. We are so excited to have Gracey as part of our school family!👋❤️
