HCHS Gets a Helping Hand from Avon High School Students
We are grateful to the Avon High School students in Mrs. Becky Reed's class for their time and skills used to make an additional 24 Donation Collection Doghouses. With guidance from Mrs. Reed, the students first invited Merrily Nilles, CK Graham, and her dog Titus to visit their classroom and talk about Hendricks County Humane Society. They asked us in-depth questions about our organization such as what programs we sponsor, how long we have existed, what are our goals, and how do we spend donation money.
The next step for the students was to apply for a grant for the money to buy supplies for this project. They submitted an application to Christy Mclntyre-Craig, Hendricks County Coordinator for Youth as Resources of Central Indiana (a program of United Way of Central Indiana), and upon approval, received $2000. The students then purchased the materials needed to make 24 houses and decorate an additional 4 for a total of 28 doghouses completed.
These photos depict the day that Mrs. Reed and her students paid a visit to Hendricks County Humane Society's office and presented the completed doghouses. Youth as Resources offices 2 doors down from our office, so they too had the chance to see the students completed project. The doghouses look wonderful!
This is a great example of non-profit organizations getting together to help the schools, young people, animals resulting in a better community for all.
