Our compassionate 5th Graders would like to extend a big thank you to the entire Unquowa Community for your incredible generosity in supporting Fairfield Animal Control and Shelter. On a rainy day a few weeks ago, we delivered all the donations and the shelter staff was truly overwhelmed by your kindness.

During our visit, we had the chance to meet some of the sweet dogs currently at the shelter. Though we were all tempted (yes, even Mrs. Noyes and I!) to bring home a new Unquowa mascot, we managed to leave without adopting… this time!

Thanks to your support, we were able to collect an amazing array of supplies, including towels, dog treats, dog food, crates, cat litter, and laundry detergent—essentials that help the shelter care for animals in need.

A special shout-out to our enthusiastic 5th Graders for leading this community service project with such heart and dedication. We’re proud of you!
