The Family Dog Club is very proud to sponsor Ms. Mclaren's Third Grade Class.  The Family Dog Club has provided educational materials, books, games, playground items, and school supplies to our favorite class.  The class, in turn, has adopted Ivy May-our most amazing deaf beagle.  She visits them every six weeks or so and both the kids and the dog love each other.  Ivy and her siblings write to the class on a regular basis and we have exchanged holiday wishes.  The Family Dog Club sponsors the class to give something back to the community and to educate the students about dogs and good dog care.  It has been a magical partnership!  The project is funded by donations from family and friends and instead of giving presents to our families for holidays we use "present" money to get things for the kids.  Ms. Cathy made beautiful scarves for the kids for Christmas and each child got a Family Dog Club hoodie and socks.  This year Mr. Rick, Ms. Bo, Ms. Janet (who turned 50!!) and Casey's Moms' all helped us get some e-readers for the kids. We and the kids are very excited about this awesome contibution.
