SEYMOUR - Members of the Seymour Middle School Small Steps Club Wednesday presented the Seymour Animal Control Officer Deborah Ice with a check for $307.
The students raised the money from a bottle and can drive they recently held at Seymour Middle School.
Club Advisor Brian Cleveland said, “The students’ goal was to collect 6,100 cans and bottles that would be enough to fill 38 contractor-size trash bags. They easily achieved that goal.”
Club President Taylor Andrzejewski said, “We wanted to raise money for the animal shelter because a majority of the animals left there by their previous owners need some type of medical attention.”
Once the cans were collected, Club Advisor Deborah Esposito called in Seymour Police School Resource Officer Corey Tomasella and Seymour Schools Director of Security Rich Kearns to coordinate the delivery of the recyclables to a recycling center in Naugatuck.
The Small Steps Club is a group of students who work together to help those in need in the community.
Student Madeline Dunham said people should make sure they stop by the Seymour Animal Shelter to find themselves a pet which will be a companion and a lifelong friend.
Seymour Middle School Principal Bernadette Hamad praised her students' accomplishment.

Kudos to the Small Steps Club members for their efforts in raising funds to donate to the town's animal shelter!
