Therapy dogs are a hit at summer program

Plainedge Board of Education Vice President Raymond Paris visited the Extended School Year Program where he spent time with the students and two therapy dogs! Jake and Ralphy, from Therapy Dogs of Long Island, are specially trained to help alleviate stress and anxiety. Students enjoyed petting and interacting with the friendly dogs and loved how calm they were. The visit from @therapydogsli was a part of the program’s ongoing effort to provide a supportive and nurturing environment for its students while promoting mental health and wellness.
