Dear Kindergarten Families,

I would like to bring my dog, 'Soho' to school for 'Puppy Buddy Reading'. Soho, is a very well trained Labrador who would love to visit us at school. This activity would be supervised by another adult, likely in the Learning Commons. Before we can begin this Reading Program, I would like to know if there are any students in my class who have an allergy to, or fear of dogs. If you would like to discuss this with me, or have any concerns about Soho visiting us at school, please email me.
I'd be very happy to meet with you, and even introduce you to our family dog. He was trained as a wheelchair assistance dog, and we have maintained his training.  Soho loves to be put to work!
