Meet Kamo!
Starting in January, Kamo will be joining the Fullerton crew! Kamo is a two year old labrador retriever. Kamo recently received her Therapy Dog certificate through the Alliance of Therapy Dogs. Kamo will be utilized in the office and when situations arise to assist students and staff. Kamo's favorite thing at school is getting love and attention from both kids and adults. Kamo loves to lay down next you and get attention. Outside of school, Kamo enjoys hunting and playing with her sister.
Meet Avery!
Avery is a 5-year-old Golden Retriever. She has her Canine Good Citizen certificate and we have been a certified therapy dog team through Alliance of Therapy Dogs for the last 3 years. Avery's favorite thing at school is getting love and attention from both kids and adults. When she's not at school you can either find Avery cuddling with her favorite toy duck or laying in the yard with a stick!
