Thank You Giraffe Team 3B from Wildwood School

Giraffe Heroes are people who stick their necks out for the common good. Giraffe Team 3B from Wildwood School in Mt. Lakes chose to stick their necks out to help homeless pets. Sue and Jane from MPP met with the children and told them about Montville Pet Parents and our efforts to build a new animal shelter. They also talked to the children about volunteering at the shelter, how Gail and Sandy (ACO’s) care for the animals and work to find them homes. The children asked about items that could be used at the Montville Shelter to help care for the animals. To raise money for the new shelter children sold ‘MPP gear’ and ice pops at the school and collected items on the Montville Animal Shelter wish list. On May 20^th, the Giraffe Team 3B came to the Montville Animal shelter and presented wish list items to Gail and d $449 to Montville Pet Parents. Great Job, kids!

Cub Scout Pack 66 Pennies for Pets
May was designated as Pennies for Pets month by Montville’s Cub Scout Pak 66. The scouts decorated collection cans to place in each classroom in William Mason and several classrooms at Hilldale School. They talked to each class about helping homeless pets by raising money to build a new shelter and also raising money for caring for animals currently at the shelter and offered an Ice Cream Party to the class that collected the most money.

Throughout the month the children dropped their coins into the collection cans and watched excitedly as the number of coins grew and grew. At the end of May the money was tallied.. $881.29 had been collected with Ms. Taaffe’s class collecting a whopping $167.16.

On June 16th members of Cub Scout Pack 66 presented a check for 881.29 to Sue Goldblatt and Jane Klemp of Montville Pet Parents. Mayor Neilson was also on hand to congratulate the scouts children on a job well done. Pet Safety tips were provided to the scouts and individual appreciation awards from Montville Pet Parents were presented to each scout by Cub Master Mike Bolen.

A portion of the donation will be used to help build a new shelter in Montville. A plaque will be included on the celebration wall in the new shelter acknowledging this donation. Until the shelter is built Cub Scout Pack 66 School will be listed on the Naming Opportunities page of the www.MontvillePetParents.org site. The remainder of the donation will be added to the money set aside by Montville Pet Parents for Montville Animals Shelter each month to be used for care of the animals currently at the shelter

Each child will receive age appropriate educational materials to share with parents and friends . Real furry friends will stop by for a short visit.
