Dear Families,
Just a reminder that next week some of our amazing grade 6/7 leaders have organized to collect donations to support Katie’s Place Animal Shelter. Katie’s Place is a volunteer run non profit animal shelter that focuses on helping cats and is just minutes from the school. Volunteers nurture cats and other small animals back to health and then helps them to be adopted. To learn more about Katie’s Place you can visit their website at https://katiesplaceshelter.com Our student leaders will come by classrooms each day Monday to Thursday next week to collect cash or new (near new) product donations such as:
- canned cat/kitten foods of any type
- cleaning supplies (sponges, scrubbers, mops, brooms, dish soap, hand soap…)
- hidey holes and beds
- paper towels
- carriers for transporting animals
- scratching posts
Please note that cash donations are preferred to allow for maximum flexibility and any donated items must new, or near new, for the student leaders to collect and deliver.
