ARLP would like to give a special shout out to the volunteers who took time out of their day (and off of work) to teach 300 North Minneapolis K-8th graders about dog safety yesterday.

Jerry Bell was the rock star of the day starting at 8:30am and not finishing up until after 2:30pm! Jerry taught all of the morning programs too! And he had a 2 hour drive one way!

Thanks so much to wonderful volunteers like you, Jerry, who make these education programs possible.

Also a special thanks to Aimee and Bruno (a shepard mix CGC) as well as Jack for getting just as much attention from the kids as the dog!

Thanks to Lindsay and Lucky and of course Roman and Grandma for joining the group.

And of course thanks to Nicole for finishing out the day teaching.

We do not have final numbers but we are close to (if not over) having reached 2,000 kids since January 2008!!!! This wouldn’t be possible without wonderful volunteers who are able to take time out to teach this necessary program.

And today (7/15) Laura and Rachel (with Jana making her debut) are at a children’s Safety Camp out in Cottage Grove. As of noon they’ll have been in front of 140 kids!!

Uber special thanks to Kellie, ARLP’s Education Outreach Guru. This program simply could not be as successful as it is without her dedication and overall program coordination!
