Grand Junction, CO - Broadway Elementary School students and staff raised $1,745 for a donation to Roice-Hurst Humane Society in honor of a service dog who used to visit the school. To celebrate exceeding their fundraising goal of $1300, students got to "pie" their teachers and Principal Westbrook during a school assembly Friday, March 18!
The donation was inspired by Ruby, a service dog who would sit with children while they read to her at Broadway. After Ruby passed away, her owner, Shannon Morlan, said a donation to a worthy cause would be the best way to celebrate Ruby’s life.
