Thanks Crockett Elementary Students!

Thanks to Crockett Elementary 5th grade students Megan Derrington, Allie Flinn, McKenna Smith, Carrie Stokes, Talia Thorpe, Kelsey Viola who dreamed up a project to help the shelter. They made jewelry on several occasions after school. Then, they sold the jewelry, collected donations, and sold cookies in order to raise funds for Happy Tales Humane. Also pictured are Lindsay Flinn (sister of Allie) and Diglio Thorpe (brother of Talia).
