Inspired by the characters in Jacqueline Davies' book,The Lemonade
Wars, Pontiac Elementary students, lead by our Media Specialist, Kristie
Haltiwanger, were motivated to raise
money for our local Animal Shelter. The
characters in the book compete to see who can sell the most lemonade. They donate all of their proceeds to their
local animal shelter. Pontiac chose to
do the same.
The students raised money by
selling lemonade at Fall Fest on October 24th. Officer Flory, from the City of Columbia
Animal Shelter, brought his friend, Sugar, a Chocolate Lab, to visit the
students on October 31st. At
this time, Officer Flory was presented with a check for $313.05. Other items, such as paper towels, quilts,
pet food, cleaning supplies, etc. were also collected for the pets at the
shelter. The students in Mrs. Evering’s
class created a quilt to donate to the shelter as well.
