Community Service

     Our BAS Pack of Dogs do a lot of community service.  Many times students and families will see them out and about in the evenings and on weekends.  They attend many sporting events and fundraisers.  Recently, Shadow and his Pack helped to promote our BAS Pink Week.  They participated in activities all week long, and attended the BHS Varsity Football Game.

     

     

     Shadow also attending the MS Walk in Milford to support a very special Brighton Family, and he attended the Alzheimer's Walk in Brighton to support many special Brighton Families.  Everyone loves seeing them at these events!

     

     

     

New School Year with our Hero

     We are so excited to have Shadow starting the school year with us!  He has been instrumental in helping students transition back to school, especially those who are struggling with anxiety.  Before school you may see him hanging around by the Kindergarten doors.  This is a new post for him.  He has been helping our youngest learners transition into the building, ready to start their day!

     

     Shadow also spends most of the morning working with students who need extra support.  Students may sit and read to him, or they may sit next to him while they are doing their work.  He also takes movement breaks with some students.  He works really hard for his students all day long!

     

     At the end of each day, Shadow escorts our JK and Kindergarten students out to the buses.  When he reaches the sidewalk, he's able to say goodbye to his students each day.  We are so lucky to have him on our Staff!

Building Special Bonds with My Students

Shadow is continuing to make a huge impact at school.  He spends his days being their for students who need a friend, or if they are struggling in some capacity during the school day.  He also visits classrooms to help them concentrate on important curriculum.  Below is a fantastic article that was just published about our very own BAS Pack of Dogs, and Shadow, along with some of his Hornung friends, was able to participate in the interview.  Enjoy this great read!
