Meet Lucy, the furriest member of the Kealing staff!
Research shows the positive impact therapy dogs can have on emotional regulation, and as a participant in Austin ISD's Leadership Pathway for Social and Emotional Learning, Ms. Morledge became motivated to include her Labdrador, Lucy, as a part of the Kealing campus community. This fall she and Lucy participated in a program through the Austin Dog Alliance. They passed every test and are now certified as Therapy Dog and handler. We are glad to welcome Lucy to the family. Her first day on campus will be Monday, November 26, 2018. Please see below for the additional information that was sent home with students in Ms. Morledge's class. |  |
