Students, Kameron Pringle and Noah Wolfe with Special Education Director, Ashley Dougherty had a great day at “Games on the Green” with other students from Arlington and Bennington. This was a great event where students played different events such as bocci ball, noodle toss, softball throw, and a giant game of freeze tag. Thank you to Bennington for hosting this event.

Life is hard. Sometimes it’s just too much. Students and their families deal with a variety of issues on a daily basis. School counselors, teachers, and parents are among the most important adults in a child’s life. Sometimes, when a child or teenager is dealing with a specific issue, it helps to have someone outside of the school that they can talk to, someone who can serve as an “unbiased party” in the eyes of a child.

Therapy dogs are trained to work with students in schools to promote
social-emotional wellness, communication and interpersonal skills, and increase
academic motivation and performance. The part-time ESU3 mental health
therapist who serves our district, Sarah Eades Hamilton, and her four-legged
partner, Shadow the labradoodle, operate as a certified therapy dog team in the
provision of services for students. Starting in mid-September, Shadow will make
her debut and join Sarah at FCCS. Shadow’s time will be dedicated to targeted
groups of students, and these specific students’ families will be notified. There
will be a sign posted at the door to communicate when Shadow is in the building.
Parents who have any concerns with their student(s) coming into contact with
Shadow the therapy dog should contact the office.
