On March 20th, Castlecomer Community School celebrated a special launch day to mark the beginning of an exciting partnership with Connolly’s RED MILLS. The event highlighted the school’s beloved comfort dog, Bruce, who has been providing essential emotional support to students, particularly in the school’s Autistic classrooms. His daily presence has made a significant and positive impact on the entire school community.
The sponsorship from Connolly’s RED MILLS will ensure that Bruce receives high-quality daily nutrition, with a focus on his favourite food from the company’s Leader Puppy range. As part of the launch, the Connolly’s RED MILLS team visited the school, where they had the chance to meet Bruce and experience firsthand the bond he shares with the students. It was a heartwarming moment for all involved, with the entire school community showing their love and appreciation for Bruce.
During the event, Connolly’s RED MILLS pet expert Chris Ahern provided a pet nutrition presentation to the students, offering valuable insights into caring for pets. Bruce was also presented with his first month of feed and a hamper of pet goodies from the Red Mills Store in Cillin Hill.
Bruce’s presence in the school has been nothing short of transformative, and this new partnership with Connolly’s RED MILLS ensures that he will continue to thrive as a source of comfort and joy for students & faculty for years to come.
