K/1 had a visit from the Responsible Pet Ownership (RPO) Program. The program educates children from ages 4–12 on living safely with dogs and responsible pet ownership.

The students learned the guidelines for Responsible Pet Ownership. ... Lifelong care of the pet. This means committing to the relationship for your pet's entire life. Selecting a pet that is suited to your home and lifestyle and avoiding impulsive decisions. Recognizing that owning a pet(s) requires an investment of time and money.
