Mrs. Cerutti’s first-graders at Sunrise Estates Elementary School welcomed a very special visitor to class - Decker the golden retriever.
Decker’s visit aligned with a Reading lesson about how people work with animals. Decker belongs to Mrs. Cerutti and her husband, and his handler is her mother-in-law, Linda Cerutti. The students enjoyed the lesson and look forward to future visits from Decker.
