The Power of Kids

Elementary school raises funds to help soldiers and their puppies.

Never underestimate the power of kids wanting to help!

The students of Watkins Mill elementary school put on a Pennies for Puppies fundraiser for a very worthwhile cause….The Puppy Rescue Mission.

This group goal is to help our soldiers in Afghanistan bring home puppies they have adopted and love. (To learn more, go to their website or their facebook page.)

The students only had four days to raise as much as they could and they exceeded any goal I had in mind with their success!!

Congratulations Watkins Mill -- because of your hard work, a lucky pup will be coming home to his soldier!
