There’s something soothing about the companionship of a well-trained dog. That’s one of many reasons why Principal Cara Quinn would like to add a trained therapy dog to the West Hill School staff. She had one on hand the evening of April 28 during the annual book fair and children flocked to pet it and make friends.

Talk about a Boy Scout always being prepared. Shalin Patel, 15, showed up to his conversation with Rocky Hill LIFE wearing a necktie.
