Therapy Dog

Gracie is not just any furry friend; she’s a certified therapy dog through Pets Helping People. She’s been a beacon of comfort and joy at various events, including Comfort Days at UWM and Concordia University, where she engages with students.

Gracie spends Tuesdays at Lincoln Elementary School, helping students work on their reading skills, and on Fridays, she brightens the day for students at Port Washington High School during lunch and exam times.

She extends her heartwarming visits to hospice patients and will soon become a therapy dog at Aurora Hospital in Grafton.

Partnering with Gracie is Mrs. Michel, a retired School Counselor with 29 years of experience in the Port Washington-Saukville School District. Together, they embark on a new journey focused on promoting kindness, respect, and happiness within our school community. With Gracie as her four-legged companion, Mrs. Michel is excited to collaborate with our students and staff.

The possibilities for PAW-sitive impact are endless!
