Mrs. Wise’s class, now known as the R-P Wise Buddies, has adopted Pound Buddies Rescue. As a team, they have chosen to help raise funds by making home-made dog biscuits and baked goods to sell at various events. The students also donate their time to volunteer at weekend events to sell these items. Funds raised help pay for vet and food expenses for our current foster dogs.
Last month was GO ORANGE for the A.S.P.C.A. (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). Mrs. Wise’s students wanted to enter the phot contest to support “GO ORANGE” month. As a group, they designed their own tee-shirts with the A.S.P.C.A. and Pound Buddies Rescue logo on them. Their picture represented R-PHS supporting the A.S.P.C.A. with all of the students and staff in their orange tee-shirts and Mrs. Wise’s four dogs.
The nationwide contest chose the top ten pictures as winner. The R-P Wise Buddies were one of the ten chosen from all the entries across the country. The R-P Wise Buddies are now on the A.S.P.C.A. website and each student received a Harley dog as gift for their efforts.
It sure is nice to see the depth of caring our students have for animals and through their efforts, many dogs will benefit from the fundraising done.
A hearty thanks goes out to Mrs. Wise, staff and especially the students who worked so hard on this project! (Click on photo to enlarge)
