Sierra Foothill Charter School first and second grade students recently completed a service learning project with coordinator Barbara Milazzo. They made a multitude of pet toys for the SPCA to use as gifts for people who adopt a pet from them. They made: recycled t-shirt rope toys, cat chasers and treat dispensers from toilet paper rolls, cat teasers from sticks and yarn, and dog crinkle/rattle toys from water bottles in socks that have pieces of dog food in them rattling around and smelling good. The students also made many congratulatory card to be given to the families who adopt.
Devon Foster and Irie Jones work on cutting strips from recycled t-shirts as the first step in creating rope toys.
Noah Eastwood, David Barrena, and Jane Adcock work on stretching and organizing strips of t-shirts for rope toys.
David Barrena, Danny Specht, Tucker Knauf, and Annalee Blagg hold up their completed cat teaser toys.
Some of the cards students made to accompany the pet toy gifts that will be given to people who adopt animals from the SPCA.
