Students from grade 1 were treated to a special presentation on March 30, watching handlers guide a group of dogs through a canine agility course, complete with tunnels, jumps and other obstacles. The students had just read the story “Officer Buckle and Gloria” in their language arts classes. The story, about a police dog named Gloria who goes to schools with Officer Buckle as he is giving safety presentations, was a great lead-in to the agility dog presentation, which teacher Rita Stone arranged as an extension of the literature. “All of the students were so impressed [with the presentation],” said Stone. “They just loved it and they learned a lot.”
