In Memory of Maggie the Reading Dog

In Memory of Maggie the Reading Dog New Berlin Elementary staff dedicated a plaque to Pawsitive Pets and Linda Tipton, in honor of our Maggie the Reading Dog, who passed away in March. The plaque will be hung in the front office to always remember Maggie, who had come to NBE every Tuesday since the school opened. Not only did some of the kids get to read with Maggie once a week, Maggie and her other dog friends also visited NBE during the Polar Express and the other various Family Nights so everyone could read to Maggie. Linda also often used her own money to provide stickers of Maggie to each and every child that read with her during those nights, and Linda and Maggie always brought books to the Tuesday kids. At the end of their session, Linda would present the kids with a certificate and a photo souvenir which sometimes included a personalized picture of the child reading with Maggie. Maggie also was a popular Celebrity Reader every year during Literacy Week. We will miss our Maggie the Reading Dog, but we are excited to meet our new Reading Pup, Jasper, who will start in August!
