The Recess with Rover program is a partnership with Cajon Park School and Momentum Tutoring. The program is designed to bring joy to the school while providing opportunities for students to learn from experts about interacting with dogs, keeping dogs healthy, and learning about service dog college.
The dogs in the program Payton, Marjess, Raspberry, Rainy, Winslow, Putman, Merin, Kiva, and Roe are support dogs trained by Canine Companions.
Recess with Rover is a Behavioral Health Program, made possible through Momentum Tutoring’s K-12 Community Grant from the County of San Diego and the San Diego District Attorney’s Office. It is one of 40 local organizations awarded $6.4 million in grants to offering services like tutoring, after-school programs, business development, and anti-bullying campaigns.
The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office recovered millions of dollars as part of a public corruption case to be used to care for children by reducing inequities and improve opportunities for local students.
