A gift for the animals

Wednesday, November 17, 2010
Banner Graphic/JAMIE BARRAND Students in C.J. Shields' eighth grade homeroom class at Greencastle Middle School recently presented items collected at the school to representatives of the Humane Society of Putnam County. The collection, which ran for two weeks, was part of a "Good Deed Thursday" initiative and was spearheaded by GMS eighth grader Nicolette Peters, 12. "I have a dog and I really do like animals," Peters said. "The animals at the Humane Society don't have nice, sheltering homes like my dog does." The students collected a variety of animal food and treats, as well as cleaning products. The collection drive was opened up to the entire school. Banner Graphic/JAMIE BARRAND
