Teachers Vincent Amodio and Jaclyn Stein recently took their K-2 students at John Quincy Adams on an educational field trip to the local Willow Pet Hotel.

The students toured the facility and interacted with one of the dogs, Cooper. They learned about the history of the Pet Hotel as well as how to care for pets and how to react when approached by an animal.

“The kids loved seeing all the dogs and learning about them,” said Amodio.

After their visit to the Willow Pet Hotel, the students enjoyed a lunch at McDonald’s, where they practiced manners, restaurant behavior and oral communication skills.
