Hello Franconia Families

Ruby's Corner

Hi Falcon Families! My name is Ruby! Did you happen to see me at Back to School Night? I have been loving my time getting to know your kiddos since school started. I thought I would share a little bit about me in case you missed that email and didn't see me: I am a facility dog trained through Paws and Affection, a local nonprofit with the mission to train service, facility, and companion dogs for young people. I am 2 years old, and they say I am this breed called a Labrador Retriever. I think that also means-- a very beautiful, furry, 4-legged companion. I will be at Franconia 2 to 3 days a week and will meet with students during morning meetings, in small groups, and/or a one-on-one setting. I am also venturing to Crest Middle School! I live with Mr. Price and his family when I am not hard at work! Stay tuned for more pictures of me working throughout the school year! 

Love,

Ruby
