Chicago Canine Rescue Fund Drive
We are doing a drive for animal abuse by raising funds and gathering items to make toys for the Chicago Canine Rescue. This is our end project for our reading unit on animal abuse and has been entirely student led.  We want as many people to come as possible and were hoping you could help us get the word out!
We have attached our flyer and have also created a commercial for advertising.  Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yO-flnQwmGQ

Thank you,
Mrs. Bruce’s fifth grade class
