“Once again we’ve raised money for the Gananoque and District Humane Society,” said Hessell. “John and Diane (Seymour) have come in once again to accept and to talk to our class about what it means. We sold freezies, we made and sold friendship bracelets, fancy bracelets, bookmarks. We had a raffle for Jolly Ranchers, which was a big hit, and this was all over one lunch hour. All the kids pulled together and made posters – 26 students – and we raised $208.90.” – to read more>
