Lexi and Exams

You know we have a therapy dog at WKHS, right?  :-)  I'm pretty sure that 100% of our students and the vast majority of our parents know about Lexi... after today a lot more people will know about her too.

During the day today a reporter and a photographer from the Columbus Dispatch came to WKHS to visit with Lexi and meet some of our students to get an idea of how Lexi can help relieve stress leading up to exams.  The story should run in tomorrow's Dispatch, but the story and video are already up on the Dispatch website and you can check it out here: http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2016/05/23/therapy-dog-brings-up-the-morale-at-worthington-kilbourne.html

Lexi and I both wish you all the best of luck during exams!  You will do great.  Remember, we are around if you need anything over the next 3 days... and, we hope you will stop to see us and say good-bye before summer vacation!

Happy Birthday Lexi

Today was Lexi's 1st birthday!  It was an awesome day.  She was spoiled (a lot) by the office staff and got lots of attention from students and staff throughout the building.  It is hard for me to believe she is already a year old... and it's even harder to believe that a year ago there was no part of me that thought I would have a dog right now.  Lexi was meant to be my dog.  She was meant to be a part of the Kilbourne family and I am so thankful that I get the pleasure of having her in my life!

I am often asked by people not at WKHS what Lexi does all day at school - and my answer is pretty simple, she hangs out to love and be loved.  I hope she does show you the amount that she loves you and being at school.  (I can assure you, as we pull into the school parking lot every day, her excitement is unbelievable.)  But today I want to thank all of you for caring about Lexi!  The greetings, the pets, the cuddles, the belly rubs, the tossing of toys, and the countless little ways that you make her feel important are appreciated more than you could possibly know.

There is no doubt she is the most spoiled and luckiest dog around!  Happy Birthday Lexington!
