Paws Visits West Essex Middle School

Paws board members visited West Essex Middle School.

Ron Locascio, a board member from Paws, an animal shelter in Montclair, came to to talk to students about pet adoption and pet care.

Students in Mrs. Jo-Ann Crawford's classes created quilts for the shelter pets, which they presented to Mr. Locascio. They also got to meet a cat from the shelter and learned that Paws lost its home and that its homeless pets temporarily live with volunteers until they are able to find a home for them.
