LILLY SHARES HAPPY TAILS WITH WES
Whitehall Elementary had the most heartwarming visitor— Lilly, a 7-year-old standard poodle therapy dog! Lilly brought joy, comfort, and plenty of wagging tails to our classrooms. Mrs. Rock ' s ESL students went all out to make Lilly feel welcome, creating adorable pictures and decorating the room with colorful welcome signs.
The highlight of the visit was when students read their favorite stories to Lilly. Her calm and friendly demeanor made it a truly special experience for everyone. Lilly’ s handler, Michele, was equally wonderful, answering questions and sharing stories about Lilly’ s work as a therapy dog.
