Fourth graders at Mathews Elementary School met their accelerated reading goals and earned a special visit on April 11 with Canto, a Canine Companions’ dog. The children read their own historical fiction novels to him and, of course, got in some snuggles. Here, fourth graders Sadie Walker, Addie Congrove and Emmie Boguess, from left, spend some quality time with Canto.
