Thank you to all the parents and dogs that helped make "Dog Days" a success!!!

“Dog Days”

“Dog Days”
We have been reading the novel, Where the Red Fern Grows, as our first novel in 6th grade literature. We would like to invite all of our student’s dogs to come visit our class as a culminating end to this wonderful classic novel about a boy and his dogs. A sign up sheet will be posted in the 6th grade room. Please come and join us, even if you don’t have a dog!

Dates: Monday Sept. 28 & Wednesday Sept. 30
Time: 2:40-3:10
We will meet at the back of the school in the open field at 2:40. Please be sure to bring along plastic bags to clean up after your loveable friends. We will be dividing our dogs into two groups (one group on each of the two days) so that the kids may have enough time to visit with all of your dogs. I will be sending the kids in groups of 3 or 4 to visit each dog. The student owner of each dog is welcome to stay with their dog on the day of their visit.

For safety reasons, we ask that you have your dog back in your car by the last bell at 3:10. We want to avoid crowds of kids, who would love to meet your dogs, running across the parking lot and possibly getting hit by an incoming car… We discourage anyone bringing pets to school, unless they are kept in the car, for this very same reason.

We’re looking forward to you and your canine friend’s visit!!! If you have any questions, please email me at pprekop@stjacobi.org.
