New School Note: We would like to introduce you to Lucy, the school’s new pot belly pig. Lucy is a micro mini pot belly pig and is 3 years old. Lucy is being donated to us by friends of Mattvey. Many thanks to Mattvey’s mom, Tanya who arranged our adoption of Lucy. We are so fortunate to have them make such a lovely donation to the school. Lucy will be joining us when we transition to the new location. Lucy is currently living with a foster family until we transition to the new location. We know that the children will enjoy observing and interacting with Lucy on a daily basis! Welcome to The Good Earth Day School, Lucy!
