Animal Paws

Ugly weather always bums me out. I don’t know why but whenever the weather is bad I always get moody, cranky and unmotivated. One thing I must say is that Mother Nature has been exceptionally good to us during our activity periods. Every time we have 70 degree, sunny weather. This week will be no different!

Tomorrow we are planning on having an event called “Flower Power”. We will be decorating flower pots and painting. We love to do arts and crafts, especially since we even see the toughest guys come out and paint with us! It’s very funny to see.

Next week were doing an event for animals. For the longest time I have wanted to do something where we can sell things to raise money for a local animal shelter. I love doing things for animals because unlike people, they cannot help themselves.

Ms. Young, the SGA crew and I have been trying to come up with different ideas fast for the event. Our original event didn’t go through so we needed to act fast to come up with something. We will be making and decorating animal bowls, and filling them with goodies. These goodies will include pet foot, towels, toys etc. Students can decorate the bowls for free, but we will also be selling picture frames for a $1 and key chains for $0.50. In addition to that each student will receive a paw to put their name on it. We will then decorate the student center with the names of students that donated money to the cause. It will be a very eventful and good deed event!
