Thank you to everyone who contributed! We raised $825.19 for the Humane Society of Rome!
Is your plastic recyclable? Look for the chasing arrows that say "Store Drop Off".
A bit of spare change has added up to make a big difference for some local animals seeking a new home. Mrs. Malenowski's third grade IFA reading group at McConnellsville Elementary School is pleased to announce that they have raised an impressive $825.19 from this year's "Pennies for Puppies, Coins for Kitties" initiative!
During this event, the third graders in the group challenge their fellow students to bring in as much spare change from home as possible to support the animals at the Rome Humane Society. This year, the fundraiser ran from October 22nd until November 4th.
While supporting a good cause, the students learn a lot about communication skills, leadership, and setting goals. In this case, the students set an original goal of $350.00, and with the help of their peers, they quickly surged past that number. The group then decided to challenge themselves even further by aiming for more than $750.00, and they smashed that mark as well!
Thanks to all who stepped up to support this effort!
Oliver reminds you that bubble mailers are plastic film! Please send them in to school! Just a few more days left of collecting.
Sometimes, Halloween and Career Day collide to create something special!
In art class with Miss Lis, 2nd graders from Mrs. Holmes’s class created beautiful polka dot pumpkins inspired by Yayoi Kusama. Great job, 2nd graders!
Some more amazing pumpkins made inspired by Yayoi Kusama by second graders.

Have too much leftover Halloween candy? Drop it off at school for our Adopted Platoon!
Sisters Daniella and Victoria remind us that all those pellet bags are plastic film and should be recycled!
In honor of Veterans Day, the McConnellsville Student Council has adopted a US Army Platoon, and they are looking for your help! Students have been signing a banner in the library to send to the U.S. Army 1-10th Attack Battalion, 10th Combat Aviation Brigade from the 10th Mountain Division. The unit is based out of Watertown but is currently deployed.
In recognition of their service, the Student Council is seeking Halloween Candy donations to send alongside the banner. Whether you ended up with too much from trick-or-treating last night, have an extra bag you didn't give out last night, or just feel like doing a good deed, it's all welcome!
Contact Shelley Malenowski (smalenowski@camdencsd.org) if you have any questions!
