Under the direction of Principal Ron Robert of the North Berwick Primary School, students collected pet foods & supplies to help support the animals in the care of Another Chance Animal Rescue. Thanks to the families of the many children that participated in the campaign, it was a resounding success! The school gathered a huge mound of very welcomed and necessary pet goods.

We are very proud and grateful to the children, their supportive families, the staff, and especially to Principal Robert, who brainstormed this wonderful, thoughtful program: Kids of Kitties. Thank you each and every one of you.
