Buster, from Canine Companions, visited the Lakewood campus for the second time this year. This day, he brought a lesson about empathy and kindness and had the students make holiday decorations for him to pass out as gifts on his visit to a nursing home this weekend. Buster also brought many smiles to our students' faces.


Some of our AEA Lakewood seniors are volunteering at Haven of Lakewood nursing home. First we played some board games and the next week we made snow globes. We wish them all a Happy Holidays and will see them again in the New Year!


Buster visited 2nd and 5th grade. Second grade worked on emotional regulation and "puppy breathing." They practiced taking calm deep breaths with Buster.
5th grade worked on giving compliments! They practiced first on Buster's vest and wrote a compliment to him. They then wrote anonymous compliments to one another to practice team bonding and supporting one another.
