February 11, 2005: Colwich Grade School Health Fair
KSARDA was asked to attend the Colwich Grade School Health Fair, along with Colwich Fire and Police Departments, EagleMed, Sedgwick County EMS, and the Kansas Highway Patrol. KSARDA presented the "Lost...But Found Safe and Sound" program to the younger grade school students. Sandi Stelz, Inga Tanner & K9 Tracer, Alaine Kuestersteffen & K9s Foxy and Kenzie, and Lorrie Stelz & K9 Skye attended. After learning about what to do to not become lost, and what to do if they become lost in the woods, the students asked some wonderful questions of the team, and then got to meet the K9s and handlers. |

 |
| Before the presentation, a few of the older students said "hi" to Skye. | K9 Foxy gives one of the students a kiss. |
 |
 |
| K9 Tracer speaks for one of his treats before the presentation. | K9 Skye makes sure Alaine gets a kiss, too! |
 |
 |
| Sandi tells the students what to take on trips into the woods. | Sandi introduces Inga and K9 Tracer to the assembly. |
 |
 |
| Alaine shows the students what Foxy's name is in sign language. | The students begin to meet the dogs as they go back to class. |
 |
 |
| The students enjoyed meeting K9s Tracer and Skye. | Skye "smiles" for a photo. |
 |
 |
| Alaine talks to the students about how she trains deaf Foxy. | There was no shortage of pets for the dogs! |
 |
 |
| Sandi talks to the Colwich principal and a Colwich PD officer. | The team poses for a photo in front of a Sedgwick County EMS ambulance. |
 |
 |
| Even after the Fair, the students kept coming up to meet the dogs! | The Colwich Fire Department enjoyed meeting the KSARDA K9s! |
|
Afterwords, the Colwich Police Department and Colwich Fire Department also got to meet the
team. We extend our thanks to the Colwich School system for inviting KSARDA out to their Health Fair!
