We are thrilled to announce our school's recent partnership with the Mahoning County Dog Warden, which has resulted in a heartwarming display of generosity and compassion from our students. Over the past week, our school community rallied together to collect a staggering 130 items for donation to the shelter, ranging from essentials like soap, Lysol wipes, and bleach to food, toys, and more.
In a special visit to our fifth-grade class, Ms. Lisa, the supervisor of the shelter, shared invaluable insights with our students. She emphasized the vital role literacy plays in caring for animals, highlighting the importance of being able to read, write, and meticulously follow instructions. Ms. Lisa eloquently tied this discussion into our recent Right to Read Week, underscoring how literacy skills directly impact the well-being of shelter animals with specific medical needs and care instructions.
Our school is immensely grateful for the opportunity to support such a worthy cause, and we eagerly anticipate further collaboration with the Mahoning County Dog Warden in the future. This partnership not only enriches our students' educational experience but also instills in them the values of empathy, responsibility, and community service. Together, we are making a meaningful difference in the lives of our furry friends, one act of kindness at a time.
