WHO Club's Spring 2009 campaign -- Animal Shelters Need our Help!
The WHO Club ran a campaign to raise awareness for animal rights. We asked interested advisories to create a poster that illustrated how they planned on "helping spread the word on animal rights" in 2009. The WHO Club members voted on the best poster. This poster contest took place the week of March 2-6, but we extended it to the following week (March 9-12). The poster contest winners were:
FIRST PLACE: Ms. Ullrich Sherman's advisory (8th grade)
SECOND PLACE: Mrs. Aliperta's advisory (6th grade)
THIRD PLACE: Ms. Shike's advisory (7th grade)
***Each winner received cookies from Trader Joe's.
