Utley Drop-off Dog of the Month
We LOVE seeing dogs in the drop-off line in the mornings, so every month this school year we are going to feature a special Utley family "Dog of the Month" in our weekly parent newsletter and on our page. We already selected our winner for August... who's it going to be for the month of September???
The August Drop-off Dog of the Month is Ari!
Ari is a member of the Peoples family, and she has faithfully made an appearance in our drop-off line every morning for over a year now. Ari, short for Arya, is a Labradoodle, and she’s going to be 14 this year. Her sight and hearing are starting to go, but she still has that puppy energy. Ari is a huge people person, loves being pet, is a big-time snuggler, and can’t get enough attention. Every day she gets excited for drop-off and lets her dad know if she thinks the kids are taking too long to get ready (except on the days when she’s really tired). We are delighted to honor Ari as our very first Utley Drop-off Dog of the Month!
