Bella Atkins, Mr. Atkins' service dog, began her new job at SJES and has been such a good girl. We are so proud that our students have been so respectful of Bella and her responsibilities and understanding her role at our school. Truthfully, it is challenging NOT to want to pet her and give her some love, but we are all learning about her work and OUR responsibility in letting her do what she has trained to do. It's a very cool experience for us and one that our students will never forget.
Mr. Atkins and his Service Dog, Bella
