About the Event
This event is to teach students how using pets in therapy is beneficial; the school may be acquiring a therapy dog next year and feel like this would be a great introduction. Youth Council has focused this year on mental health education and want to show how dogs can help with anxiety. Members of SYC would like to start the event with a short presentation on therapy animals (Martha will do this).
1. Location Description: The event would be hybrid (indoor/outdoor). They hope to have those not visiting with the animals to be working inside the cafeteria on pet toys for a local shelter. Dogs can be right outside, on the playground. School is working to find a grassy/tree place for us. Possibly a couple of different classrooms or the gym if rain.
2. Other pet organizations attending: NO
3. Parking arrangements: No passes necessary. Volunteers can park in front…
