How do 4th graders at OES change the world one dog at a time??
We had one last activity for our “Walk on the Wild Side” PBL unit. Our students helped to build a doghouse to donate to a Spartanburg organization called Project PAWW.
This is not a typical dog
rescue group, although they do find dogs that are chained and typically ignored
and try to help the owners understand there is a better road to responsible pet
ownership. They donate doghouses
to outside dogs without one, straw for bedding and protection against the snow and
rain. Flea collars and heartworm
pills, water bowls, and food are donated to dogs in need.
When they heard about our
completed doghouse they went on a search for the perfect dog-in-need close by
in the Chesnee area. The
volunteers at PAWW picked up our doghouse this week at school!! We also donated other needed pet supplies and dog food.

Excited about giving a dog in need some food! :)
Awesome job, 4th grade!! We are all so proud and thankful for the generosity in helping this family and their dog in our community!
