Third Grade Class Reads with a Special Guest
On Wednesday, Rachel Mainwaring’s third grade class was joined by special guest Wilson the Therapy Dog for a demonstration of his many skills and a chance to read to him.
Wilson is a friendly Bearded Collie mix, certified as a therapy dog since 2011 by the Alliance of Therapy Dogs, a national organization with 15,000 certified canine-human member teams. Wilson loves working as a reading tutor in several area public libraries, as well as visits to local classrooms, summer camps, and teacher-training programs. His calm demeanor makes him a popular therapy dog.
