Ernie, our newest professional therapy dog, is already making a BIG impact after his first week! 🐾

He’s been busy spreading smiles at BMS and BHS—meeting students and staff, making lots of new friends, sneaking in a few well-earned naps, and even receiving his very first self-portrait from a talented BMS 7th grader 🎨

We’re so lucky to have you, Ernie! 💙
