Wright County Patrol Sergeant Cotten + K9 Chase = The Ultimate Team! 🤝🐕 Our students learned some "paws-ome" facts during this presentation: 🚓 Teamwork: We learned how long this dynamic duo has been working together and how much extensive training is involved! 👃 Super Sniffers: The kids were amazed at how far away Chase can smell contraband! 💼 Career Paths: Officer Cotten shared what is involved with breeding, selecting, and training K9 Officers, as well as what led him to become a K9 Handler! Thank you for visiting Terra Nova School and showing us that heroes come with four legs, too! Shoutout to our curious students for asking great questions as well!

We weren’t expecting a winter wonderland today, but we embraced the opportunity! ☃️

The classroom view turned into a literal snow globe, so we did the only logical thing: grabbed our coats and headed outside! From exploring the fresh powder to the birth of some very stylish impromptu snowmen, today was all about making the most of the moment.

Nothing beats the pure joy of an unexpected nature break! ❄️✨
