K-9 in the Classroom

Submitted by Gayle Rudacille

On Tuesday, January 10th, Mrs. Mason and Mrs. Biser’s classes at East York Elementary had special guests come into the classroom, Lieutenant Godfrey and his K-9 companion, Captain Dargo.  Lt. Godfrey shared facts and information about Dargo’s role as part of the York County Sheriff’s K-9 unit.  The students had the opportunity to watch Dargo in action.  Lt.  Godfrey hid something in the classroom, and then gave Dargo the command for search.  Dargo quickly sprung to action and located the item.  During the presentation the students learned about the training Dargo completed to become a member of the K-9 unit.  Lt. Godfrey emphasized that the training for both him and Dargo is ongoing.  The students were also given the opportunity to ask questions. This visit was memorable for both students and teachers!
