Let's spread some City Schools good news! |

Liberty's got a new team member, Mollie. Mollie helps with the school's biweekly social-emotional group. But there's something special about Mollie. She's a pup! Mollie is a certified animal assisted therapy dog. She helps occupational therapist (and Mollie's owner) Marlena Barbera and school psychologist, Samantha Malamut conduct the groups using the Zones of Regulation curriculum.
The presence of a therapy dog - like Mollie - can get students excited about coming to school, lower stress levels, and improve students' attention, concentration, relaxation, and motivation. |

The painting features the school, the surrounding neighborhood and children smiling, dancing, skateboarding, jumping rope – having a grand time, just like they do at school!
