Fourth-grade students at Mast Landing Elementary School in Freeport presented a check for $355.50 on Jan. 14 to the Coastal Humane Society of Brunswick. Students from the four, fourth-grade classes raised money during a Dec. 18 economics fair. They made Maine-themed crafts, and sold them for less than $1.50 to third- and fifth-graders during the fair. The students then voted for the two charities they wanted to donate the money to, and settled on Coastal Humane Society and the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital, each of which received checks of $355.50. From left are Grace Davis, Zander Vanbrugh, Emmalynn Pierce, Teddy Whalen, Mandi Wehr, director of shelter operations and veterinarian at Coastal Humane, and Kaleigh Manning, animal care technician. To the delight of the kids, Wehr and Manning brought in a cat and a dog for them to pet.
