Locust Valley High School students got a visit from two therapy dogs on Sept. 28 for a chance to relax in between classes. Luna the chocolate Labrador from Therapy Dogs of Long Island and Walty the Golden-doodle spent time in the library where students came to pet them during their open periods. Therapy dogs have been coming to the school every last Thursday of the month for two years.
“It allows our students a moment of relaxation and a guaranteed serotonin boost,” school social worker Bidania Criscuolo said. “I’m always trying to find different ways to give our students a brain break.”
