High Tech Elementary 5th Graders present Cause for Paws Adoption Event on Saturday, January 27 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at NTC Park in Liberty Station. Students have been challenged to create an awareness and fundraising campaign by building dog houses and cat condos, raising funds through student designed calendars, advertising, and hosting an event. “I love this project because it gives the students an authentic reason to research, write, and do math, all while they are engaged in designing and building these amazing structures to help rescue animals. The students have worked so hard to bring this project to its fruition and I believe it's going to be a beautiful event this Saturday,” said Jeff Govoni, 5th grade teacher at HTe. The event will feature local animal shelters, including Animal Pad and Whiskers Without Borders where they can both adopt pets and learn about ways to volunteer or support as well as a special appearance by Shorty Rossi, philanthropist and Pit Bull / Bully Rights Activist. Students will display their custom build dog houses and cat condos. In addition, students will share what they learned throughout the process. Plus, attendees can bring animal supplies to participate in a raffle for prizes (one raffle ticket per pet supplies item; all pet supplies will be donated to your shelters). Additionally, you can get your own pet caricature with locally renowned artist Marco. In attendance will be our seventy 5th graders, their families, and other family and friends from our High Tech Community. High Tech Elementary’s mission is to create a school community where students achieve more than they think possible, becoming active contributors to building a better world and teachers can fulfill their highest aspirations.
