Kelsey, mini bernadoodle, will join in at Nixon School one time a week and be present for social and emotional learning for children. We have learned of the strength of having a therapy dog at school through the tremendous success of Sophie at the Noyes Elementary School. Kelsey will be accompanied by her experienced handler, Candy Mandell and Maureen Acton while visiting Nixon School.
As we begin this program, Kelsey will be spending time with a selected group of children. These gentle visits will be shorter in duration and give Kelsey and our children an opportunity to get to know each other. For some children at Nixon School, specific time with Kelsey will a bit longer based on the needs of social and emotional care at that time. As this program develops there will be increased opportunities for other children at Nixon School.
We welcome this sweet girl to our Nixon community!
Please see the link for the Nixon School Therapy Dog FAQ. As Kelsey visits the schoolhouse and travels through the halls she may cross paths with many different students. If you do not want your child to have any contact with Kelsey or you have questions, please reach out to Maureen Acton (maureen_acton@sudbury.k12.ma.us) and/or Susan Woods (susan_woods@sudbury.k12.ma.us).
