My Project

Our local rabbit rescue has a pet donation day coming up, and my students want to help those looking to adopt pets with the resources they need to start their new pet families.

Students will raffle off small pet playpens, toys, bedding, feeders, and food storage for $1, $5, and $10 to those in the community participating in the Rabbit Rescue pet adoption.

Our students have been eager to get out into the community to show appreciation for helping those in need, and this would be the perfect opportunity. I also want them to be able to look at the contributions made inside their local communities and be proud of themselves. During the pet adoption raffle, I want my kids to facilitate it fully; they will do so by counting the proceedings, making signs, properly addressing those adopting small pets or considering adopting small pets, and appropriately donating it back to the Rabbit Rescue.
