Clover Street School Raises Money For Hailey Strong for a Paws

Clover Street School organized a special dress down fundraiser during the week of May 2 - 6 for​ ​​​​​Hailey Strong for a Paws. Hailey Strong for a Paws is an organization that was formed to raise money for Hailey Giguere, a teen from Windsor, CT, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was 15 months old. Hailey has been through numerous operations. Many years ago, one of them left her partially paralyzed on her right side. Now she and her family would like to get a service dog to help her with balance, retrieval of dropped items, etc. These helpers must be selected and trained from infancy specifically for an individual's needs. Thus, the cost for such a dog can be between $10,000 and $25,000.​ ​The school raised a total of $550 and presented a check to Hailey.
