There’s a new furry member of our Mustang community! The Briarwood and Tuttle Schools are thrilled to introduce Winston, an almost 2-year-old King Charles Cavalier, as the star of our Therapy Dog Thursdays. Winston, a certified therapy dog, spent the day visiting students across the Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools and The Tuttle School. He offered his calming presence and provided an awesome brain break for students and faculty. The school counselors, Ms. Chapman and Ms. La’Zurs, utilized Winston in their daily activities, doubling the emotional support.
Winston’s first day was a success. One student shared, “It was the best day ever — he helped me so much.” Owned by Erica Zack, Executive Assistant to the Head of School, Winston is set to become a cherished part of the school community, providing comfort to students, faculty, and staff alike.
Therapy Dog Thursdays with Winston are sure to bring even more smiles and comfort to our Mustang community. We can’t wait to see the difference he’ll continue to make!
