GRM Student Council members are taking charge of this spring's annual selfless project. The campaign is Kids for Kats and will benefit the Port Jervis Humane Society. The treats are Meow Mix cat food . The kitties can enjoy rolling the tube around as the food makes an interesting sound for them. Each small treat is $1.00. Shout out to Abby K. and her family for shopping/donating the food.
Please remember to save used towels and blankets without filling for animals in shelters. Ms. Lombardi would be happy to receive them and do the delivery. You can contact her at lombardij@eldred.k12.ny.us.
