When tasked with a community service education project, students at Eagle Wings Academy knew exactly what type of community service group they wanted to learn more about: PAWS of CNY and its therapy dogs.
Eagle Wings Academy exists to offer a Christ-centered, Biblically-based education to urban children. PAWS of CNY volunteer Carol Slagle met with Eagle Wings Academy students on October 23 with her miniature labradoodle, Jack, to teach the students about PAWS of CNY and the benefits of therapy dog work.
After learning about PAWS of CNY, the students at Eagle Wings academy wanted to do something for our organization that would help allow us to continue serving our community. The students designed, planned and executed their own fundraiser which raised over $130 for PAWS of CNY.
Jessica Marabella accepted the check from Eagle Wings students during their annual holiday concert.
Thank you to the students at Eagle Wings for helping us to meet the need of our community!
