Help Some Animals!

Ho, ho, ho!

This is the time of season for giving from the heart. There is nothing as sweet as the love of a helpless animal. This year Mrs. Quintana’s and Mrs. Stark’s classes ask you to help us bring some Christmas cheer to the Española Humane and Santa Fe Animal Shelter.They need clean gently used or new towels or blankets, dog and cat toys and new containers of dog food (especially Purina puppy food). Please help make a pet feel some love until they reach their forever home.

Items can be dropped off in front of Mrs. Quintana’s or Mrs. Stark’s room.

Thank you!
