Two sisters who attend Spencer Elementary School have been announced as the winners of the Brighton Area Schoolsâ âLove Your Pet Dayâ promotion.
Over 100 students âfrom Tot Spot to 8th gradeâ participated in the contest, in which the winner will get to spend a class day with Buckley, one of the school districtâs âPack of Dogsâ.
The winners were announced Tuesday by Karen Storey, a Brighton special education teacher who founded and directs the districtâs much-emulated Pack of Dogs program. The contest took place in conjunction with the national âLove Your Pet Dayâ promotion, which was held last weekend. The school contest was based on students submitting a photo of themselves with their dog, the panel basing its selection of the winner on the best photo.
