Pelham Road Elementary students pulled together to raise money for St Francis Farm Animal Sanctuary and all of our residents.
Back in March, Pelham Road Elementary reached out to our sanctuary with an idea to hold a fundraiser in support of our rescue and in memory of a great teacher and animal lover that had recently passed away. We were beyond happy and excited to work with them!
Our sweet Rusty joined me as we went and visited the Leadership and Beta clubs, who would be leading this fundraiser for us. Those great students had a lot of great questions about our rescue, the work we do, and about Rusty of course! Rusty was a bit shy, as he was one little guy surrounded by a lot of new people. But he enjoyed getting to go around and get a pet on the head by each kid, and several teachers. By the end of the trip he was so worn out, he slept the whole way home!
That next week the Leadership and Beta clubs enthusiastically visited each class every morning to collect donations for St Francis Farm. By the end of the week we were very surprised and happy to hear that the Pelham Road Elementary students raised over $900 for the farm! We are very honored and humbled that all the students cared so much for our rescue and rescue animals and truly appreciate the work those awesome kids put in!
Thank you so much Pelham Road Elementary!
