Students at North Elementary School in Poseyville are helping to make a difference for animals in Posey County. Following a week-long school-wide competition, the student council is giving a $3,400 check to new life rescue and adoption. Not only an opportunity to give back to Posey County, but the project was also a penny war competition, where certain coins and dollars were designated as positive and negative points for each class. For earning the most points a fourth-grade class received an ice cream party. Those students’ efforts have made a big impact to keep these animals healthy and well-fed until they find their forever home.
