“This is a fun and easy program to implement in any school.”
Michigan puppy raiser Kathy Guerrero and Canine Companions’ puppy
Tivo II have taken the “Dog Days of Reading” to a whole new level.
Kathy works for the Avondale School District in northern Detroit and
has spearheaded a reading program in the district’s Deerfield Elementary
School to benefit Canine Companions. The program had three goals: 1) raise
money and awareness for Canine Companions 2) encourage the children
to read and 3) educate children about disabilities and community service.
During the program children grades K-5 kept weekly reading logs and
received pledge money for their amount of reading. At the fundraiser’s end,
prizes were awarded for the top readers in each class, second place readers
and to the school’s top reader. Overall the program was a great success.
Not only did the children learn about Canine Companions, disabilities
and community service, but they found themselves enjoying reading more.
And on top of all that, they also raised $2,388.95 for Canine Companions!
Schools are always looking for ways for their students to become more
involved in the community and to learn more about disabilities - this is a
fun and easy program to implement in any school. If you are interested
in learning more about implementing all or part of this fun program,
please contact volunteer coordinator Jean Henry at jhenry@cci.org or
(740) 833-3703.
