Pettober

Pettober is a fundraiser that I (Donnie Hawkins), and the Harpers Ferry Middle School student Council did. What we did was we had a competition between October 24th to November 4th, 2016 for the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders, so they can bring in food for the Jefferson County Animal Welfare Society. Whichever grade won (sixth graders) got to have fun in the gym. Mrs. Wight, the student council advisor was the one that said "Donnie, you can pick any fundraiser you want to do." So I thought about it, and I decided I wanted to do the fundraiser about the pets because I adopted the best dog in the world. My dog is a pure bred beagle, and thought since he is so sweet, then the other dogs and cats are sweet too. After the fundraiser, I personally went to the animal welfare society, and gave them all the food that our Middle School raised. They called, and gave us, and the school a big thank you. What I want to do is to keep Pettober going in the Spring, and the fall, and also I would like it if our whole county did it, maybe even our state, so our area animal shelters can feed their pets.
