My Project

Our school has 225 amazing students. We are located in a low-income rural area. Our students work hard each and every day. Our students ages range from 4 - 12 which is a great time to start learning responsibilities.

Our school is always looking to grow our family.

We just grew by four bouncy feet. This equals two fluffy rabbits. It is proven that pet therapy enhances self-esteem, self-confidence, increases empathy, and increases compassion and nurturing. Many of our students do not have pets at home, and this will help them learn to take care of animals. The cage, food, and feeder will help them learn about responsibility.
