Friday morning a bulldog dressed as a rainbow fish walked into a library full of woodchucks. Imaginations were running wild at Greenwood Elementary School as Drake University's Associate Director of Marketing, Erin Bell, and Griff read The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister to a group of young learners in the library. Greenwood was just one of the eight DMPS elementary schools on the visiting list for the bulldog tour. After the reading, each student had a chance to pet Griff on the way to their next class.
