The Wellesley Middle School Community Service Club recently held a toy and food drive for the Fitchburg Animal Shelter.

Students created and hung posters around the school to promote the week long event. Students were also available during lunch periods to sell animal toys and food to fellow students with prices ranging from $1.00 up to $5.00.

Gently used items (towels, dog beds, blankets) were accepted from students and parents throughout the week as well.

A HUGE Thank YOU to the Club and to Ms. Colleen Tang, the club’s adviser. 

Listed below are all the items they collected from students and their families during the last week. WOW!
