The two people on the far right in the picture are Paul and Ashley. They are students at Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES' animal science department. Each week they mentor people from Pet Connections to help the program's participants expand their grooming skills while reinforcing their own knowledge of the subject.
When you walk into the classroom you can feel the energy and spirit of collaboration. The students are eager to pair up with their Pet Connections partners. And even the students who aren't directly mentoring, can't wait to see the Ontario ARC van arrive on Wednesdays.
Paul, Ashley and Alexis (left) are just some of the amazing students I met that day. They reinforce their education by imparting that knowledge on the program's participants -- many of who wish to find employment related to animal care. And now towards the end of the year, the participants seem to have the animal care routine down to a "t."
Much thanks to the Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES animal science students and their instructor Sandy Hawkins!
