Fundraiser for animals under way at Boynton middle school

Christa McAuliffe Middle School's animal rescue club is planning its first fundraiser of the new school year, “Paws For Pups.”

Donations of $1 or more will be marked on a paper paw with the donor's name and donation amount. The paws will then be displayed in the windows of selected classrooms at the school, 6500 Le Chalet Blvd.

Dana Silbersweig, a math teacher at the school, said the club raised more than $2,300 during a similar fundraiser last year called Dollars For Dogs.

Silbersweig said donations will go to area animal rescue shelters and organizations to help homeless cats and dogs.

The fundraiser runs through Friday, Oct. 17.

For information call 561-374-6600.
