Francesca
Lanfranchi began volunteering at her local animal shelter when she was
seven years old. But as a fifth grader, she decided it was time to do
more. She created a fund-raiser to raise money for the shelter in New
Jersey. Francesca’s “Strut for Mutts” event raised $5,873 for animals!
Students
at Joseph Caruso School in Keansburg, New Jersey decided to host a
barkery. All the money raised would go to help shelter animals. The kids
asked their parents to donate ingredients to make homebaked goods. The
class whipped up the goodies and sold them at school. The money they
raised went to the Monmouth County SPCA. But that’s not all. The kids
decided to open a restaurant to serve lunch to staff members at the
school. Another success! In total, they raised nearly $400 for the
animals!
Jenifer
Graham was just a kid when she proposed a bill that became a law in her
state. Jenifer thought it was unfair that frogs were killed so that
high-school students could learn about frog’s bodies. Her law allows
California students to choose science projects that don’t harm animals.
