The 1^st Grade classes are asking the school community to support their drive for the Animal Rescue League of Boston’s Dedham shelter. Its founder, Anna Harris Smith, was a Dorchester native and her home is still there at 65 Pleasant Street.

The Animal Rescue League has helped animals for 116 years by rescuing domesticated animals and wildlife who have been abused, abandoned or neglected. It is a non-profit organization that relies solely on the generosity of the general public.

We are collecting the following supplies for the Dedham branch:

Kindergarten     cat food

1^st Grade             dog food

2^nd Grade           cat treats

3^rd Grade             dog treats

4^th Grade             small toys for cats or dogs

5^th Grade             sponges, Windex (spray cleaner) and Dawn (dish detergent)

For more information about the Animal Rescue League, see their website at:

 Please help us “make a difference” by supporting the animals!

Thank you!
