Donations to Little Shelter in Huntington
	During the holiday season, much attention is given to people in need. Since the East Woods First Grade spends much of the year studying the animal kingdom, we wanted to offer the students an opportunity to focus on animals in need as well. In keeping with the spirit of giving, we thought it would be nice for the students to help a local animal shelter by donating items for the homeless cats and dogs. Students sent in items such as food, treats, blankets, and beds, to help these animals in need. All donations were placed in large stockings in the First Grade classrooms. Over the holidays, the stockings were brought to Little Shelter in Huntington. The volunteers were so appreciative and couldn’t wait to distribute all the goodies! The students received a wonderful thank you letter and certificate and are looking forward to a volunteer coming in the spring to teach them about the shelter and pet responsibility.
