Story Dogs Day Friday 3 May 2024
Story Dogs is a reading support program where selected students read to an accredited dog and its handler. The outcomes for these students is amazing:
- They have FUN
- They are not judged
- Their focus improves
- Their reading skills increase
At Benowa State School, we are very lucky to have a Story Dog visit us each week, Diane and Ollie and Carol and Shadow. Caring for a Story Dog is an expensive business though, and we would like to show our support by wearing as much orange as possible on Friday 3 May, and donating to this cause, whether your child wears orange or not – a gold coin from everyone would provide approximately $900 to the volunteers - to continue to see our dog cared for during 2024!
Items of the school uniform can be replaced with suitable, sun-safe orange items – from as little as an orange accessory (hair ties, shoe laces etc) to a shirt or short/skirt. Please ensure your child/ren continue to wear their black school shoes, and all other school uniform items not replaced by orange – this is not a free dress day.
