Remember Your Pet this Christmas

[MikeF9]

Once again, Mrs. Cassidy's 1st grade class and Mrs. Howard's 3rd grade class are making paper Christmas ornaments. For $1, you can buy an ornament and have the name of a pet on the ornament. It can be a pet you currently have, or a pet that passed on, but you would like to remember them. All of the money raised goes to the Franklin County Humane Society, to help them take care of the animals at the shelter. Last year they raised over $800.
I talked with Val French in the Elementary Office, and she said if you want to stop in, you can get the necessary paperwork there. The kids have been coloring the ornamnets, which include gingerbread men, wreaths, light bulbs, trees, stockings, and candy canes.
They will be selling ornaments through December 22nd.

I have been buying ornaments for a couple of years now. This year I bought one for Jose, and one to remember Rex, who we lost in March.
