🐾💛 Josie “Jojo Bear” had the best day visiting our school for our PBIS event! Students were all smiles as they spent time with our favorite therapy dog — she soaked up every hug, tail wag, and belly rub! 🐶✨ Through her visits, Josie helps promote emotional regulation, reduce stress and anxiety, and encourage responsibility and respect. She also helps students learn safe, caring interactions with animals while rewarding positive behavior and providing unique, meaningful experiences for those who follow expectations. Our PBIS goals focus on creating a positive, safe, respectful, and supportive school environment — and Josie’s visits are a perfect way to bring those goals to life! 💛🐾 #PBIS #TherapyDogLove #PositiveBehavior #SafeAndCaringSchools #JojoBear #FCS
