"Kaira's attention and approach help to regulate students' big feelings like magic."

Facility Dog Spotlight Pattison Elementary School's Kaira Ms. O'Brien says, "Kaira serves Pattison Elementary School in so many wonderful ways! She greets students happily each morning as they enter the building, and seems to sense just when someone needs a little extra love to get their day started. In small groups, she is a quiet, supportive partner for students who want to "share" assignments they have worked extra hard to complete. In many classrooms, spending time with Kaira is part of a class-wide reward that students can earn when they work together toward a common goal. When a child is in crisis, Kaira's attention and approach help to regulate students' big feelings like magic. She is truly an invaluable part of our staff and we just cannot imagine being without her!"
