Wilkins School Walk-A-Thon

On Wednesday, May 18th, stu-dents and staff members braved the dreary weather to participate in the Wilkins School Walk-A-Thon, sponsored by the Amherst Junior Women’s Club. Participants com-pleted laps (walking & running) around the school and collect-ed pledges per lap. Each year, the Walk-A-Thon raises funds which are distributed throughout the

school based on staff requests. The 2011 Walkathon raised approxi-mately $6000. The AJWC would like to extend a huge thank you to all those who made this year’s event a success, especially the students, parent volunteers, Kathy Johnson, David April and to Jake’s Old Fash-ioned Ice Cream & Sweet Shoppe for donating certificates for the top 12 fundraisers.

Amherst Middle School Art Students Raise Money For Homeless Pets

Fifth grade art students at Am-herst Middle School worked to-gether to create life-size dog sculp-tures and dog portraits this spring. These pieces of artwork were raffled off at the beginning of June, raising $204 for WOOFFUN and The Ani-mal Rescue League of NH. WOOF-FUN (Waiting On Our Furever Families Up North) is a non-profit organization in NH that places dogs from southern states in local fos-

ter homes instead of shelters while dogs await adoption.

In creating these projects, stu-dents researched dog breeds and learned about different animal wel-fare organizations. They chose to donate the proceeds of the raffle to these organizations because they wanted to make a difference in the lives of homeless pets throughout New Hampshire and the country.
