East Penn Therapy Dogs
The East Penn Therapy Dog Program has been a great addition to our schools and has helped support students in tremendous ways! The Therapy Dog Program is funded by donations and we need support to help with the program’s success. There is an apparel fundraiser going on right now where a portion of the proceeds will go directly to help fund the program. The store is open through Oct. 28. To find out more about this program that supports our students please check out The East Penn Therapy Dog Program. Thank you so much for your support!
The East Penn Therapy Dog Program will again be partnering with the Phantoms on Oct. 12! This is opening night for the Phantoms; tickets are $22 and $5 from each ticket purchased will go towards the Therapy Dog Program. Branch, Mario, and Tokyo will be at the game. Please join us for an East Penn Night at the Phantoms!
