This school year, one of our MPPS therapy dogs will be working in Fancher Elementary. He is an Labrador Retriever named Blu! Thanks to a generous grant from the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, Blu has been working hard to complete an extensive training program. This will be Blu’s third year working at Mt. Pleasant Public Schools.
Research has shown that therapy dogs support psychological and academic growth while increasing social skills, self-esteem and school attendance in children. Additionally, having a therapy dog at our school aligns with Mt. Pleasant Public School’s social and emotional learning goals. Therapy dogs are trained to provide emotional support, which positively impacts reading skills, emotional functioning and communication skills. In addition, the use of therapy dogs may decrease anxiety, improve motivation and increase emotion regulation in students.
Staff members within the building will be able to invite Blu into their classrooms, he will be available for one-on-one time with students, and he may attend special Fancher and Mt. Pleasant Public Schools events. Student interaction with Blu will be completely voluntary and will be based on student comfort level. Blu lives with Mrs. Shiner and will spend a lot of time in her room. A safety plan has been developed and put in place for students with allergies and/or students who have an aversion to dogs. Please contact your building principal to report any allergies, aversions, or other concerns you may have regarding your child’s potential interaction with Blu; we will work closely with you to ensure your child’s safety needs are met.
This is an exciting time at Mt. Pleasant Public Schools; Blu and his host family are looking forward to the start of the school year and working with all of the students, staff, and community members. For more information and photos of Blu and the other district dogs, visit “Oiler Pack” on Facebook.com
