Mrs. Cricco (4th Grade) and Ms. Taylor (4th Grade) dropped off $337 dollars raised by 4th grade’s silent art auction benefiting LaPlata County Humane Society. Students proudly created art to match poetry they wrote, all inspired from the novel, "Love that Dog" by Sharon Creech. The story centers around a boy and his dog. They learned about love, loss, and all it entails to own a dog. LPCHS was thrilled to receive the donation. Thank you 4th grade for reaching out and giving back to our furry Durango friends looking for homes!
