to grades 5+.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Dog Toys for Charity
Monday, May 23rd 3:30pm-4:30pm
Dogs that don't get toys to chew on can be less playful, which makes them less
likely to be adopted. Everyone loves a playful pooch! We will make DIY doggie
toys for shelters and encourage potential adopters to give those pups a new
home. Please bring an old t-shirt with you! Grades 5+.
Money Jars for Charity
Monday, May 23rd 7-8pm
Join Mrs. Kathy to create a loose change jar using tissue paper, paint,
markers, buttons, ribbons, and more!. We will wrap them up and donate them to
children at Ronald McDonald House. A community service certificate will be
given to all participants! Grades 5+
