Jammin’ with Jovie

Belmont turned pink today in honor of Anni 🩷

Anni's Army Foundation

Sweet Anni, I am so grateful to have met you. Your kind, gentle spirit clearly radiated to everyone around you. While I did not have the privilege of getting to know you very well, our visit on Friday was and will remain the highlight of my comfort dog career. You were strong, you fought with such grace, and your Rockford Ram Pack will miss you greatly. We know that you are now pain free, and we hope that you are dancing your heart out, with that beautiful smile on your face, and most certainly dressed head to toe in pink.

Jovie & all of Belmont Elementary send our most heartfelt condolences to Anni’s family and friends. We all know the impact that Anni has made, and we are so grateful to have known her. We will continue to spread love and kindness just like Anni, as best we can each and every day. 🩷

Thank you for making our school such a kind, safe, and happy place for all students - two-legged and four-legged alike. You’re the leader of the pack, and we’re so lucky to have you!

Happy St. PAWtrick’s Day! A little leprechaun (or two) left these around school as well as some cute ones of Mrs. DeKuiper. I hope you all are having a great HOWLiday!

Yesterday, my two handlers both went on a field trip to the zoo with the fourth graders. I was told I couldn’t go. It was hard to watch them leave on the bus, but I had fun visiting my other Belmont friends! Still, I had to make them feel guilty by giving them my best puppy dog eyes.

Thanks for the snail mail, Teeny Feeny ! What a great start to the week. 🫶

It was such a fun day at Belmont today! The 6-7 haunting got me & all of our Belmont staff!! But thanks to your spooky Hokey-Pokey-ing at the end of the parade, Belmont is no longer haunted by 6-7 and I am back to being just Jovie!

Happy Halloween! Be safe and stay warm tonight. 🫶🐾👻6️⃣7️⃣

Belmont shined SO bright today! I got to take part in the Shine Bright celebration and it was so much fun!! I saw kids also having fun while making sure that they were listening to directions, following the rules, and being good sports. Exciting days like today take a lot of self-control, to make sure that our excitement doesn’t get the best of us. Trust me, I would know! I think all of us Belmont Bobcats did a great job, though!

My favorite part of today was the inflatable costume race. Thank you Belmont PTO, parent volunteers, teachers, staff and students for making today so amazing!

Have a great weekend, Belmont 🫶🐾

Me in my jammies 🥰
