There have been incidents in the past of dogs fighting on the school grounds, Tate remarked, and there is always the chance of students getting bit w h e n trying to break up the fight. There is also the fact that pets tend to interfere during recess activities and could cause a child to be injured from trip ping over pets, or having their clothes tern. Any cooperation parents, and students,can make in this m at ter would be appreciated, Tate said. I 1
