'DAWGS Care-A-Van' was a SUCCESS!
A Great Start to Spring Break!
Way To Go DAWGS!!!!
Twelve cars paraded through Freeport and north, south, east and west of town to over 40 homes bringing smiles to the faces of their students as they started Spring Break this week. The parade was met with signs, cowbells, cheers and even a few tears as the DAWGS Care-A-Van passed by. Definitely some 'Puppy Love' on National Puppy Day!
(thank you to all who shared your pics and videos of the parade!)
And the Response is . . .
- so excited that we were able to see all of the teachers from her school drive by our house honking and waving and shouting Hello. She said they were like Olaf and were sending warm hugs to all the kids. It made my heart melt seeing her so excited. #Aquinstrong #wedidntgettosaygoodbye
- We absolutely loved this! Thank you to everyone who participated. You sure brought sunshine to this cloudy day!
- Thank you to all the Aquin teachers who drove by our houses today. You are all amazing.
- I think this made her miss her amazing teachers even more.
- Just seeing the videos. Aquin teachers Rock! You are the best.

All of my daughter's teachers just drove by our house honking and waving and shouting Hello. It was the sweetest thing ever and we are truly thankful for each and every one of them. And now I'm sobbing. #Aquinstrong #wedidntgettosaygoodbye
Thank you to the Aquin Elementary Teachers !!! They are driving by the students homes and honking and waving HI!! That really meant a lot to us! Thanks again
This kindergartner hasn’t stopped talking about his teacher parade that went by!! He doesn’t quite know how to process this all but there is nothing more heart warming than the smile this put on his face! The precious bond you each share with him means a lot and warms our hearts! He misses each of you! Mommy was part of the Care-A-Van and saw so many smiling faces from Pre-k through 12th grade! Don’t know if this was better for the students or the teachers?? 40ish homes, 2+ hours, honking to wake up the neighborhood, waves and hellos, smiles galore = PRICELESS!!! Bulldog Pride!
We loved it !!! Thank you Aquin teachers!! I had a little tear in my eye ... happy and sad at the same time...happy about our amazing teachers and sad about our new reality#didntgettosaygoodbye

Thanks for the “care a van” Aquin teachers! I’m not sure if you can hear our music in the video... she was playing “Who let the dogs out”!
