Zinnia was her usual chill self at the Bishop Maginn High School Graduation Banquet. The crowning of Zinnia brought two TV stations and some print reporters.
TV hasn’t really changed much since I worked there.
This was a hard year for them and the school. One after another came up to me and told me how much her visits meant to them.
It was moving to see just how much our visits and Army Of Good work meant to the school and these students.
You can see one of the TV spots here. I’ll post more photos later. My dog therapy work has meant so much to me I sometimes forget how much it can mean to others.
I don’t need a lot of praise (although I do like it), but I’ve never felt more appreciated than I did last night at this wonderful high school, a place of love and compassion and community, an oasis in our complicated world.
She is really rocking that crown! Such a lovely dog.
I couldn’t believe it…. Zinnia made the Chicago news broadcast last night! It was nice to get a glance at the school and students too. Jon, you could be seen in the background.
Wow…
What a wonderful school, students, leader (Sue), and there couldn’t have been a better or more beautiful Prom Queen! You and Maria and Zinnia have done so much good for that school, this last year, especially. Well done!
What a terrific recognition and affirmation for you, Zinnia and the Army of Good from these most special students and administrators. Well deserved.
