Seventh Grade NMS Student Jenna Freitas has been featured in the March 2016 issue of Woman's Day magazine.
She is in "The Kindness Project" section of the issue.
As her mother described, "Jenna, has a remarkable compassion for serving others. Last year, she spent tireless months training our 5-year old shih tzu/bichon frise mix, Maddie, to become an AKC (American Kennel Club) certified K-9 good citizen.
Once certified, she started volunteering at a local nursing home. She and Maddie entertain up to 30 senior citizens each month. In addition to a well-mannered dog, Jenna has trained Maddie to sit, stay, leave it, dance, jump through multiple hula-hoops, roll over, spin, high-five and bark on command. Right now, Jenna is working on the “play dead” trick with Maddie.
Jenna's commitment and passion is inspirational. We are all so thankful for the beautiful gift she selflessly gives to others."
Thank you, Jenna, for being a symbol of what being a TIGER in our community is all about, and thank you, Mrs. Freitas, for making sure we can share Jenna's story with our NMS community.
Great job.
