Pre-kindergarten students from the Three Village Central School District put a spin on the traditional giving drive when they hosted a grade-level blanket and towel drive for Kent Animal Shelter.

With help of the administrators at North Country Administrative Center and the Nassakeag Elementary School community, the students collected dozens of donations. Additionally, the pre-K classes each used their creative skills to decorate fleece blankets for the shelter.  

“The donations were amazing, and the children loved creating blankets that will be used in cages for the dogs and in the cat house,” said pre-K teacher Maureen MacDowell. “When I arrived at Kent we loaded all of the donations into their storage shed for the colder weather. They were so grateful and touched by our donations.”
