Perkins School students and staff celebrated the 100th day of school on Feb. 14 by donating 160 items to the Humane Society of Wayne County. Executive Director Mark Plyter collected supplies, including pet food, treats, cleaning products, and more.
The donation drive, led by second-grade teacher Jessica Bittner and the 100th Day Celebration Committee, aligns with the school’s focus on kindness and community involvement. Principal Pete Czerkas emphasized the importance of teaching students about helping others.
The Humane Society is currently raising funds for a larger shelter through its “Raise the Woof” campaign. Plyter said donations like this help offset costs, allowing more resources to go toward the expansion.
