As the fourth grade students in Mrs. Leanne Rotta’s Language Arts classes read a reading story about the life of service dogs and how they assist people, the students decided to participate in a community based project called “Fill the Bowl.”

 The collection of items in the classroom

The “Fill the Bowl” project focuses on helping animal shelters collect much needed items to care for pets while they await adoption. With what seemed to be an extended winter season, the shelter was in great need of warm blankets and towels, as well as food for the animals.
The participation in the project was overwhelming! Each day for two weeks, the students were coming to school with bags and bags of pet supplies. One student, Jocelyn Stoffel, even brought in one of each of the items listed on the pet wish list from the Washington County Humane Society. The items were delivered to the Washington County Humane Society in the afternoon on March 26. The volunteers were grateful for the large donation. Thanks to the generosity of the fourth grade RESS students and their families, this project was a huge success.
