Thank you, Trixie!

Trixie, Nesaquake Middle School's first therapy dog, has been making the rounds lately in the Smithtown Central School District.

She recently visited Dogwood Elementary where she was loved not just by students, but by Principal Carpenter as well. (Head to our social media pages to see that interaction!)

This beautiful 2-year-old Bernese Mountain dog has been introduced to students and staff by Nesaquake’s school counselor, Mrs. Harnett. Trixie is a therapy dog by day and after hours she serves as a service dog for Mrs. Harnett. 

Some of her Trixie's daily activities include walking the hallways of NMS to greet students, classroom visits where Trixie is incorporated into curriculum lessons and is available for individual student meetings.

Trixie’s next scheduled stop is St. James Elementary School later this week.
