At Cle Elum-Roslyn Elementary School, Alyssa Welzien's 4th grade class recently embarked on a compelling book study of the novel "Shiloh." The heartwarming story inspired students to take action and make a difference in their community. Motivated by the themes in the book, they created posters to help advertise the needs of four animals awaiting adoption at the local ARRF Animal Rescue. These thoughtful posters are now displayed at Roslyn Grocery, showcasing the students' creativity and compassion. This project is a wonderful example of how our students are developing critical thinking skills and using their learning to positively impact the community. We are incredibly proud of our students for their dedication and empathy!
