Students that are car riders may pick up their signs at the end of the day during that week. They can’t be sent home with the students on the bus due to the metal posts.

Items needed include dog food, dog treats, kitten formula, bottles for feeding kittens, cat treats, peanut butter, Kongs, tennis balls, squeaky toys, rope toys, cat or dog beds, blankets, kitty litter, food bowls, paper towels, trash bags, laundry detergent, bleach, blankets, sheets, old pillows, old fur coats, and leashes.

Thank you for your support!
