Grant Middle School Talent Show!
Clara Sweers worked with Reggie and performed in our talent show. Here is a video we wanted to share with you!
Reggie is just one year old, and believe it or not, he had never even seen the tunnel before Clara started working with him. That’s where their journey began. Over the past several months, Clara has dedicated her time and energy to training Reggie—not just after school, but also during lunch and recess.
Through patience, consistency, and a lot of hard work, Clara has helped Reggie grow in confidence, learn new skills, and become the amazing dog you see today. This didn’t happen overnight—it took commitment, teamwork, and a strong bond between them.
Clara’s dedication is something we can all learn from. She saw potential, put in the effort, and didn’t give up—and now we get to celebrate the results.
