Leading a Charity Drive for the Lost Dogs Home
Throughout this term, Year 12 student Menuli P. has spearheaded a remarkable initiative to support the Lost Dogs Home. Menuli has effectively used our school's TV screens, posters, and newsletters to raise awareness and direct donations to the collection boxes in the Main Administration area. One Monday morning, Menuli confidently addressed the Staff Briefing meeting, encouraging final contributions to this worthy cause. Her dedication and passion for helping those in need is inspiring.
We applaud Menuli's efforts and commend her for making a positive impact in our community.
For my VCE-VM Community Project, I've been finding ways to support the Lost Dog's Home and it has been satisfying to see people generously donating. Some donated items have been dog food, toys, jackets, bath towels, and cat toys. All these things will go to the Lost Dogs Home. I just want to thank everyone who has donated and made a positive impact on the dogs and cats who are homeless and in need.
