School-wide Author Visit: Maureen Harrington and Ivy, the French Bulldog
Ivy and her owner Maureen travel around New England providing enrichment assemblies for elementary schools. The book, Ivy the Very Determined Dog, is a true story about a dog Ivy, who uses a set of wheels to get around after becoming paralyzed in her back legs. Ivy inspires us all to never give up, to believe in ourselves, and embrace our individuality. And most importantly, to always “keep on rolling whatever you do, and never let anything get the better of you."
In advance of Ivy's visit, families have the opportunity to buy a discounted book signed by Maureen and Ivy. Keep an eye out for the order form in your child's red folders next week. Forms are due back December 19th.
