Week of January 10th update

 Supporting a Local Animal Shelter/ Betty White Challenge

I informed the class of the recent trend to support a local animal shelter. The class was eager to participate. Students agreed to either bring coins or money donations from their personal savings or earnings to support the cause. One of the students has researched several local animal shelters. On Thursday, we will select one, and I will make an electronic donation on the class' behalf on Friday.

No donation is too small, because it is from the heart. 

We have collected $38 in 2 days. My goal was $50 so we will make it.
