With Thanksgiving approaching, I felt it was a good time to say how thankful I am to be at Goff Middle School and surrounded by such great students. Everyone is so friendly and kind. They respect my space and follow the rules so that we can spend as much time together as possible. I especially love being in class because I get to see the students learning all sorts of important things.

I hope all of our students, teachers and staff have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Love, Bandit

I had so much fun at Goff Picture Day! Not only did I get a nice brushing before the photo, but I got to hang out with some students and staff and, recently, I received my new staff ID! I think I look pretty official. See you around school.

One of my favorite parts of being in Mrs. Yovine's class is helping our students with their math work. I also like to be pet.

Wow! Yesterday was so much fun! I am so happy all of the students are back at school and I get to see them every day. I also got to meet a TV crew. They thought I was pretty special!

I hope all the students are as excited as I am for the new school year!

Check it out! I passed my Canine Good Citizen test! Woo hoo!

Thanks to my friend Mrs. Yovine for helping me through the test. Even though I know I'm a good boy, tests can make dogs (and people) nervous. It helped knowing all of the preparation that we put into this ahead of time. Now we start training for the Therapy Dog International test.

See everyone next week!

I had a blast meeting the new 6th grade students at Goff Middle School Orientation today! Mrs. Yovine introduced me to the students and she went over the Bandit Rules to make sure students know how to interact with me.

We also snapped a couple photos with the kids! Here I am with some Goff Ambassadors!

I love Goff Middle School! For the past couple of weeks I've been walking around the building, getting used to my surroundings and meeting some students and staff. I even got to read some books with a new friend the other day! Everyone is so friendly. I can't wait to meet our new 6th graders tomorrow at Orientation!

Hello! It's me, Bandit! I am so excited for the new school year so I can see all of the students, teachers and staff at Goff Middle School. It was so fun spending some time at school last spring that I decided to come back as a full-time therapy dog!

I hope all of you are having a great summer vacation - playing outside, spending time with family and friends and going on fun trips. Those are all things that I love, too!

I've been busy training this summer, and also visiting school so I can become more comfortable here. Sometimes it's a little scary going to a new school so I hope everyone is friendly and makes me feel welcome.

I can't wait for everyone to get here! See you soon!

Love, Bandit
