Our Pet Care Club wrapped up its final session this week, and we couldn’t be prouder of what these young animal advocates accomplished. This session featured a visit from a Vet Tech from Stack Veterinary Hospital, making homemade dog treats, creation of a school-wide State St pet bulletin board, and concluded with a visit from Coco the therapy dog!

A few words from our students say it all:

🗣️ “Pet care club helped me destress and it was really fun”
🗣️ “I would do Pet Care Club again because it was a great way to end my day”
🗣️ “It is fun to learn about pets!”

Huge congratulations to our Pet Care Club members for their curiosity and compassion. We can’t wait to see where their love for animals takes them next, and a special shout‑out to Ms. Donzella for inspiring our students with her enthusiasm for pet care and for making this experience possible for our 5th graders.
