Stick Up for the Paws ~ by Emily Granata and Alyssa Beers

All proceeds from the Stick up for the Paws
event goes to benefit New Castle's K9 Program.
Thank you, Sgt. Bucker and Bojar for the
demonstration!  Also, thank you Officer Preisel
for agreeing to help by being the "bad guy."
Appreciation also goes to our physical
education teachers, Mr. Simon and
Ms. Kolo for agreeing to be taped to the wall!

Great job Peer Leaders!

 giving a brief explanation of the day's activities.
