Scrapping for Pups

Too young to volunteer at your local animal shelter, but want to help the animals? That's what happened to Emily. After making the movie "Be a Hero Adopt a Dog" for her school Reflections contest she wanted to find another way to help the animals, but she was told she had to be 14 to volunteer. The people at the shelter found another way she could help. They were pulling down the old photos off of their bulletin boards and the photos needed to be put onto scrapbook pages to share in the albums in the front lobby.


I volunteered with Em and the animal shelter provided us with the photos and supplies. We didn't get finished very quickly, the box got put aside, but when the snow started flying this winter, we dug into the project and got it done and back to the shelter! If you want to see if the animal shelter in your town would be willing to let you help scrapbook - talk to your parents (get permission) and ask them to help you contact the shelter, and to work out the details for you.
