2 1/2 days of Leadership Retreat with some of my favorites! I sometimes forget how hard you humans work! There was a ton of collaboration, great conversations, and team building- where they did a lot running around! I’m glad my sister is letting me rest!

I am walking around our Living Museum and learning so much about Abe Lincoln, Jane Goodall and so many more! The 4th graders are presenting to visitors until noon! I am very impressed with all their hard work!

I had a great 5th birthday celebration today!! I was on the morning announcements, picked a name for the Book Vending Machine, got lots of cuddles, had stories read to me, yummy treats and Ms. Irvin’s class even sang Happy Birthday to me!

I had a great week last week! Some play time with my new bff, Ruby, the therapy dog at our FSSD Central Office. I met some GREAT people from Manchester City Schools who wanted to know more about our Therapy Dog Program. I finished the week at our FSSD Job Fair!

Sometimes even the therapy dog needs therapy!

What an exciting morning at JES! We unveiled our book vending machine and celebrated FSSD Founder’s Day with special treats! A book vending machine means I know I will get even more reading time with the students!

A big thank you to the 6th graders @fssdFIS who gave each therapy dog a present full of enrichment toys! I have had so much fun playing with them and figuring them out!
