Happy 3rd Gotcha Day to Joy 🐾
Three years ago, Joy found her way to Appamada, and we really can’t imagine our school without her.
She has become a comfort, a friend, a quiet classroom companion, and a source of so much love for our students. Whether she’s making her rounds, finding the coziest spot in the room, or reminding us all how to be a little softer, Joy brings something special to our community every single day.
Her story started long before she came to us, and while we may never know all of it, we do know this: she is deeply loved here.
Happy gotcha day to our people dog, our school sidekick, and our Joy. 🤎
