WASHINGTON, CT (April 26, 2004) - It is a rare experience when students get to catch a glimpse into the everyday lives of their educators and mentors. On Sunday, April 18th the first annual Glenholme Canine Collection Show provided just that type of enlightening experience. Last Sunday, Glenholme's soccer field was filled with a unique blend of four legged companions and their owners, who just happen to be staff members at the Devereux Glenholme School. Students at the school not only worked the event as judges, but also presented each dog to the audience while providing a detailed description of each breed. More importantly, Glenholme's students were offered an interesting glimpse into the lives of their teachers and staff that is not seen in class or during their daily living. There is an inherent bond between owner and pet - a bond that demonstrates the positive relationship between man and animal. The children enjoyed the opportunity to see this in action and view their staff in a different light. This relationship between people and animals transcends to that of student and teacher or friend to friend. Yes, there was a dog show at Glenholme last Sunday, but for the kids and staff alike a beautiful spring afternoon brought greater understanding to each relationship, who they are and why they care and much much more....... |
