It is hard to believe that “little Cali” is already 2 years old!  We remember when she was just a goofy puppy walking the halls at 5 and a half months old when she started working at the Calais school in September of 2013.

Cali has grown in the time she has been here, not just in size, but in friendships, maturity, and abilities.  She is still the silly, cute puppy we all fell in love with when she walked through the doors for the first time, but now she is just a little older and wiser.  What a fun two years it has been… time flies when you’re having fun!

“Cali’s Kids” showed her just how much they loved her last Friday by throwing her several birthday celebrations. Mrs. Vitaletti, Mrs. Liberato, Ms. Filiberti, and the Girls Social Group threw Cali a wonderful birthday party with singing, arts and crafts, and tons of cards and toys.

Afterwards Mrs. Braen’s and Mrs. Heinen’s class threw Cali a lunchtime party complete with birthday cards.

Mrs. Tacinelli’s class, along with Mrs. Ferment and Cleo’s reading class wrote Cali some very heartwarming cards that meant so much to her.

Ms. Butler shared,

Cali is one VERY lucky pooch to work at such a wonderful school with such wonderful children and coworkers by her side. It was a wonderful birthday and Cali certainly felt all the love surrounding her on her big day!  What a special way to start off her special birthday weekend with her Calais family! Thank you for all the birthday love!

This year was extra special because Cali has another four-legged friend to celebrate with. She is very happy to have Cleo by her side!

Cali was also very happy to have another four-legged friend to celebrate with this year, Cleo! 

Cali celebrated with her BFF Cleo!

 Thank you everyone who shared Cali’s special day with her! Happy 2nd Birthday Cali!
