It is a labor of love for some students and staff at the South Valley School in Jordan School District. Twice a week they volunteer at the Sandy Animal Shelter working hard doing things like feeding the animals, cleaning cages, and filling water bowls. But the students also get to socialize with the animals and help to name some of them up for adoption.
Sandy Mayor Monica Zoltanski and the Director of Animal Services, Ian Williams, recently met with the students to thank them for their service and the impact their work is having on the shelter. Mayor Zoltanski said the South Valley students have such positive attitudes and great work ethics. The students are grateful for the opportunity to help the shelter and animals, and learn employment skills which will be valuable to them in the future.
Thank you to everyone involved, supporting students who want to give back and help animals at the same time.
