Hi guys. My class and I (Fox Meadow fifth grade) have been raising money by doing a tie dye sale and doing a bake sale. We have raised $3,000. Also, we have one more exciting thing that is coming up. On February 24th and 25th  (over February break), we are having a huge charity tag sale at Saint James the Less Church in Scarsdale with several former Fox Meadow students that will help us out. We hope to make $5000-$8000. We are going to use the money to send kids from Mount Vernon to summer camp. We have been doing this for several years.

Last year we were on News 12, and if you want to watch it go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soKhNGcKEkM

OMG, I love tea cup poodles. I have one and had one before that one. I just love them. Miniature teacup poodle can fit in the palm of your hand. And the special thing about them is that they are going to stay that size for the rest of their lives. They are really smart (they are the second smartest dog breed in the world), so they are easy to train. They were bred in France and meant to be a water hunting dog, but they are so adorable. Here are some pics of it.

Hi guys, I asked people “What is the first thing you think of when you hear Pit Bulls,” and most of the people said mean, dangerous, and vicious. I strongly disagree, sure they might have killed few people but haven’t we (Human) killed more pit bulls than they killed us (Yes). Also it turns out that Pit Bulls that killed a person was often illegally trained to fight which made them aggressive. If you still disagree with me, there is a one amazing story about a Pit Bull named Kiah. Kiah was first found wondering behind Texas Convenience and brought to a shelter with a serious injury on her head. It turns out that she was hit in the head with a hammer by her owner. At the shelter, she recovered with a serious vet care. Workers at the shelter say that “She had a loving personality and was loved by everyone she met.” After about 9 months in the shelter, she had a once in a life-time opportunity, Brad Croft, director of Universal K9 and has trained hundreds of dogs to become law enforcement and military dogs. When he came to Kirby Animal Shelter, he decided to give a chance to Kiah. After about 5 months of training, she started working for Poughkeepsie Police Department in NY helping his handler Justin Bruzgul detect drugs and bombs. Soon after she earned Prestigious Public Service Award Form American Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals. I hope you have changed your mind about Pit Bulls!!
