Kid's Corner

The We Love Animals Club from the St. Jane de Chantal School in Bethesda invited Poplar Spring to give a slide presentation on farm animal rescue this past Spring. The children then raised funds to sponsor Ebony the pony, and sent letters describing how they would help animals if they "ruled the world".

Many thanks to all the other kids who helped to raise money for the sanctuary animals:

Natalie Perez and Josh Milstein, who celebrated their birthdays at the Sanctuary, and requested donations for the animals be given in lieu of gifts.

Poolesville Elementary School's Student Government Association, who held a raffle of a stuffed cow and pig at their annual carnival, and Seven Locks Elementary School, who collected money from students and parents to sponsor a chicken and a horse.

Marcus Axelrod, who went door to door in his neighborhood, collecting donations for the sanctuary.

Girl Scout Troop #1137, 7th graders at the Norwood School, who held cookie and bake sales and car washes, with Poplar Spring as one of the beneficiaries.

And a HUGE thanks to our biggest little fundraisers of all, the 32 first grade students at Sandy Spring Friends School, who for the second year in a row held a Spell-a-thon, and raised an incredible $5,400 for the rescued animals.

First graders at Sandy Spring Friends School once again raise record amount for the animals.
