Paws of the Future Celebrates!

Our final week of fundraising was a huge success for Paws! Our refreshment team was occupied during afternoon recesses selling snacks to eager customers. The refreshment stand was so popular, that we sold out mid-week and Miss Cichosz purchased more snacks with the leftover money from our Imagineaction subsidy! We sold the rest of the snacks on Friday.

We counted more cash and Miss Cichosz showed us how to roll coins. We completed a draft for a deposit slip together as a class, and Miss Cichosz submitted the final copy to the school office.
In total, we raised $1 547.90 for Manitoba Underdogs!

*A correction: Our deposit slip picture shows 311 quarters equals $77.50, but 311 quarters equals $77.75, so we raised $1 548.15 for Manitoba Underdogs. Thank you to Mrs. Darvill for fixing this error on our deposit slip!

Two representatives from Manitoba Underdogs and Ms. Smith visited us on Wednesday, at which point we had raised just over $1 400. We thanked Ms. Smith for working with us by giving her a thank you card made by a student in our class. We talked to the reps from Manitoba Underdogs and asked a lot of questions about the rescue. They hope to have a rescue shelter one day, so that they don't have to turn away any dogs who need help. Right now, all their dogs are in foster homes with volunteers, but sometimes there isn't enough space for new dogs, so they ask for help from rescue shelters. They said thank you to us and gave each of us a Manitoba Underdogs calendar to take home!

We've been busy getting ready for our Showcase, which happens Wednesday, May 25th at the Fairmont Hotel (11:30 - 1:00 p.m.). Remember, the Showcase is open to the public, so we hope to see some friendly faces if you're available!
