Last week, Mr. Bell brought a very special guest during his weekly visit and we are still swooning!! Meet Legacy....Tyrone's sweet therapy dog! Our students are still asking "Where's Legacy?" While visiting our school, many students asked Mr. Bell what tricks Legacy could do, and Mr. Bell responded that the only "trick" Legacy has been taught to do is give lots of love. Mr. Bell also shared that he has seen Tyrone's student attendance and behavior greatly improve since having brought Legacy to Tyrone, and the same can be said for his staff attendance and morale. There are many benefits to having a therapy dog.
Physical benefits: reduced blood pressure, provides physical stimulation, assists with pain management.
Social benefits: creates greater self-esteem and focused interaction with others
Cognitive benefits: stimulates memory and improves problem-solving skills
Emotional and Mental Health benefits: helps lift moods, provokes laughter, encourages friendships and provides comfort and support.
Here is a link to learn more about therapy dogs in schools:

So the question is this: DOES BEAVER PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE A NEED FOR A THERAPY DOG? We'd love your feedback! Comment below to share your thoughts with us!!

Rejoice, Good Dusters! ’Tis a Grand Day Indeed! Mrs. Ramon has secured a Traveling Trunk from the Oklahoma History Center. The trunks are free to check out like a library book and come with artifacts, books and information on different subjects. This week her students studied the Colonial Life Trunk which contains information about how different people lived during colonial times. Dusters are not only learning but getting to "experience" life from another time. As they would say in colonial times, "Huzzah! ’Tis a Fine Day to Be a Duster!” 🖤💛🌪️
