Meet Bo. Bo is a therapy dog that visits Trailside twice a week and visits different classrooms. The unique part is that Bo's human is a paraprofessional at the building, and she comes back to volunteer her time with Bo because of her passion for therapy dogs and has seen the impact firsthand on our students. It is made possible by the extensive obedience training and certification process that Mrs. Butzlaff & Bo went through. Bo is certified through the Alliance of Therapy Dogs.

The Trailside Library is excited to announce The Great Pumpkin Reading Incentive! Read a book during October, and decorate a pumpkin (paper) based on a character from the book read during October. This will help us decorate our library space!

The 4th graders at Trailside Elementary participated in a mini-service project. The students learned about Halo Inc., a homeless shelter in Racine, from a guest speaker. Afterward, they created positive and uplifting cards and notes for new guests at the center.
