A group of children from the ages of 5-12 years of age made dog treats to donate to S.C.R.A.P.S. They created the treats, talked about the benefit the treats had to the organization and were able to see their treats being given to the dogs through a photo book!
We held a school wide food drive where students/teachers bring in canned food/nonperishables. After multiple weeks of the food drive we also asked communities members to donate shoe boxes. The students put food into the shoe boxes, decorated them and gave them to meals-on-wheels. The students also walked them over to the nursing home across the street and gave them to the elderly people there.
