Many schools in our community and across the country require high school seniors to choose a non profit organization to do a Senior Project. The project normally entails performing a certain amount of community service hours as well as possibly raising funds for the organization.
Mikayla Lambert, a high school senior living in New York City at ballet school but enrolled in a cyber school associated with Sullivan County High School chose to do her senior project for the Bradford County Humane Society.
"I really care about animals and wanted to raise money and supplies for the Bradford County Humane Society," stated Lambert.
She wrote letters and made several phone calls to local Sullivan County and Bradford County businesses to raise a total of $1,270 plus pet food, cat litter and other supplies to support BCHS.
"This type of support is so important to the sustainability of our shelter. There are so many wonderful students in our communities that choose us as their senior project. It makes me proud to know that so many care for animals. The fact that Mikayla did all of this remotely while in New York City is truly phenomenal," stated Jennifer L. Spencer, BCHS Executive Director.
BCHS would like to extend a huge thank you to Mikayla and all of the businesses that support the shelter.
