Menominee Elementary School third grade students and Menominee student council members sponsored a collection for the Marshall County Humane Society this past Friday.
In trade for a dollar or a donation of a pet item, students and staff were allowed to wear pajamas to school last Friday. Mary Dolph’s third-grade class spearheaded the project by making advertisement posters to spread the news. Her students were busy early last week hanging their handmade signs throughout the Menominee hallways.
Students in the other two third-grade classrooms, along with Ms. Dolph’s students held an item drive throughout the month collecting dozens of items such as dog and cat treats, food, and durable toys for furry friends that call the Marshall County Humane Society home. On Friday donated items were placed under the school’s Christmas tree, and students who brought in monetary donations or an actual donation item(s) got to add their name to a paw print ornament that hangs on the tree. In total students collected $368 in cash donations and 150 donated items.
