Macey the kelpie visits Newbery Park!!
Room 3 had a surprise visit from the famous kelpie Macey today. When Miss Fox told her students that Macey was missing on Monday, they decided to make her owners cards, wishing for Macey's safe return. Kelsea brought Macey for a visit today to thank them for their support!
The students were so excited to meet Macey and couldn't believe her rescue story was all over the news in Australia (and reaching the international news!!)
An amazing rescue and what a surprise for the kids 🐾
