Meet Emma Holmes, a four-year-old girl with a soft spot for animals. Emma makes beaded bracelets. She told her mom that she should sell them so that she could buy toys for all the shelter animals at the Sturgis Animal Shelter.

Emma got her passion for animals from her experience with Captain America, a dog which she got from the Sturgis Animal Shelter. Captain America was a fierce protector of Emma. But unfortunately, she couldn’t keep him because of the new apartment complex where they moved in which didn’t allow pets. Now, Captain Americal stays with Emma’s grandma.

Emma sells each bracelet for only $2. If you would like to buy her bracelets, visit Facebook and look for Rapid City Area Online Garage Sale or Rapid City Baby and Kids Sales and type in bracelets. Emma and her mom will be selling until December 18. They will donate the money to the shelter on Christmas.

Alberton School District has a resident therapy dog, a 5-year-old yellow lab named Sunny. She works at school each day with her handler who is a music teacher — Mike Wolfe.

Wolfe experienced a lot of challenges when he first introduced Sunny to the school board members and lawyers. He was met with questions like What if kids are allergic? What if kids are scared of dogs? It’s a good thing that the school board finally agreed to have Sunny.

While training Sunny to become a therapy dog was a personal investment for Wolfe, it was all worth it. Sunny dances with the kids in music class. She also visits the counselor’s office from time to time to help calm a stressed student down. According to Kara Berg, the school counselor, the kids pet Sunny while being counseled and it helps them process things.

Sunny is earning her spot in the yearbook in the staff section. She has been amazing even if it’s still her second year in Alberton School District.

Sonia Zagwyn, the library children’s service coordinator, says that The Read to Dogs program was originally for geriatric patients and other sick individuals. But they found it to be beneficial for kids who are shy to read in front of their parents or peers. Terry Faubert, one of those who tried the program, brought her grandson with her.
