Mr. Reese, High School Principal, brought in his therapy dogs today to meet the 6th Grade. The presentation was part of a 6th Grade Science lesson where Mr. Reese explained to the students that the husky breed has wolf DNA and that they make great sled dogs, due in part to some of the traits they have inherited from their feral counterparts. The presentation was followed by a question and answer session where the students were able to ask questions and take notes to use in class.
