Puppy Visit Helps Fight Testing Stress

Acreage Pines Elementary School held “Paws Your FSA Stress Day” on Monday, March 28 for third-grade and fourth-grade students. A Second Chance Puppies & Kittens Rescue brought five dogs for the kids to pet, while yoga instructor Tatum Miller showed the kids some yoga poses. State testing was held starting Tuesday, and studies have shown that petting puppies can reduce anxiety and stress.
