Comfort Paws-Bruce Guadalupe & Acosta Middle School

CP visit – Wednesday June 25th. This is the first of 3 visits we will be providing at Bruce Guadalupe & Acosta Middle School (the other 2 are in July)

This is part of a summer program for 9th graders to prepare them for the transition into high school. One topic that is important that students will learn this summer is mindfulness and wellness practices.
Bruce Guadalupe Middle School is at located on 920 S 9th Street.

We will be meeting and conducting our visit at Bruce Guadalupe Middle School….the building north of United Community Center.
Enter the main door and we’ll meet there.

For the first part of our visit the students will be in an auditorium.
You (handler/pet teams) and staff will be a short distance away in the gym.
Our contact Gladys will have 10 signs with numerals one thru 10 (the number of teams) placed around the perimeter of the gym in a circle.

After the brief intro to pet therapy and the benefits, the students will count off by 10, then make their way to the gym and go to their respective number. After 5 minutes the teams will move clockwise one spot…students stay put. We will try to make it around one full circle, but that’s a lofty goal.

Parking lot option.
There is a parking lot just north of the school.
The entrance to the lot is on the south side of National Avenue, east of 9th Street…just before the overhead freeway.
There is a Park n Ride green sign….enter the lot…continue straight…cross the alley (you’re heading south) and enter the next parking lot.
There is an exit on the southwest corner.
You’ll cross the street and the school will be on your left side.
There is also street parking.
