Student Council
Summer Enrichment Information and Registration due May 31st!
Student Council isponsoring a collection of items to donate to Common Sense for Animals!
Our goal is to help the pets in our community by collecting and donating supplies to the local animal shelter. Did you know that approximately 6 to 8 million animals enter shelters nationwide each year? Our local shelter seeks to provide food and basic care to many homeless pets each year while they await their “forever homes.” A shelter can be a stressful place for pets; we hope that our donations will help make their time spent there a little less stressful.
We will be collecting supplies starting today and ending on Friday, June 7th. Suggested donations include food, treats, toys, paper towels, windex, garbage bags, etc.
We hope that this experience will be rewarding for you and our community.
Thank you for your support!
