FC schools raise money for animal shelter
April 26, 2024 at 1:02 p.m.
Several schools in Franklin County have been holding, or will be holding, fundraisers to help raise money for the new animal shelter. The current shelter is too small, lacks efficient space, and needs a lot of maintenance.
A new shelter design was approved and is currently underway, with the memorial of Louie Fasbinder, who dedicated his life to the shelter and animals.
BES will be finishing up their fundraiser this week. To raise money, the staff brough in photos of their own pets and placed bins underneath them. Students were then encouraged to bring in coins or cash to vote on which animal was their favorite. All money raised in these votes would be donated to the shelter. There is no total yet to announce, but the kids are having fun and showing their support.
Laurel Elementary also chose a fun route to raise money. Teachers have the opportunity to sign their name up to hold a snake for the students. Then, students can bring in their coins and dollars to vote for which teacher they want to hold the snake. Their fundraiser will begin May 3rd and run through May 9th, so no total is available to announce yet. The students are excited though and can’t wait.
Mt. Carmel has already finished their fundraiser. Students were encouraged to see which class could raise the most money. At the end of each day, the class with the most money would receive extra recess time, and some play time with the school’s therapy puppy, whom the kids love to see. At the end of the week, the class who raised the most earned a pizza party! As they have finished, Mt. Carmel students raised $2317! All proceeds will be donated to the shelter.
BMS has chosen to raise money through several methods. Teachers can pay $30 to wear jeans for the rest of the years. Students can pay $1 to wear a hat every Friday. The teachers are also selling snacks in their rooms - English teachers sell suckers, Math teachers sell airheads, Social Studies teachers sell chips, etc - they also have a donation box set up. Students can put $5 in the box to earn tickets for a Kings Island trip after school is out. BMS has gotten incredibly creative with their fundraising, and the teachers will even play a round of Family Feud to raise money. As of right now, they are about halfway through their $1000 goal.
St. Michael’s has not yet stated how their students will be raising money. An update on the school will be provided at a later date along with their total if their fundraiser is completed beforehand.
