Puppy Rescue

This morning Mrs. Stowe arrived at school to find 2 cute little puppies lying in the middle of the main highway. To prevent their harm, the puppies were rescued and placed in a box until the owner or mother dog could be found. Other parents coming by spotted the mother dog frantically searching for her puppies in the surrounding fields. So Reeves Proctor took the puppies out to the middle of one of those fields for the mother to come and get them. Later, Mrs. Bebe Hendricks spotted the puppies and picked them up and took her time to find the mother dog and reunite the family. Hurray for Mrs. Bebe!

Volunteers Needed

We really need some volunteers who like to work outside with their hands and can bring a chain saw to work on the larger bushes.The plants in front of the school need a face lift. We have shrubs to trim and move.
So pack up your hedge trimmers, sunscreen, hat and goves and come help us beautify your school !
