After reading an article on how guinea pigs in the classroom can help reduce stress and anxiety among students, Miller Avenue teacher Meghan Schepps decided that her students could benefit from a classroom pet. On March 7, the students were thrilled to meet their new friend, Zeus, who Ms. Schepps procured through a Petco Pets in the Classroom grant. “The students have already fallen in love with him,” said Ms. Schepps.
