Chew on This
We had the opportunity to appear on the Rachael Ray Show along with Shell Bank Principal Teri Ahearn and Brody, their Mutt-i-grees School Dog. Our segment shows the Mutt-i-grees Curriculum in action as Principal Ahearn explains the impact the dog has on the classroom, the students, and the school as a whole.
Since the beginning of the school year of 2021, the Mutt-i-grees team has been traveling to the Bronx, New York every Wednesday to Mt. Eden Children’s Academy. Each week, the team would work with the shelter to select a rescue pup who would make the journey to Mt. Eden with them for some lessons in social emotional learning and humane education.
