Rapid City public schools participated in a fundraiser for our local Humane Society earlier this month. The Learn and Serve program students built doghouses and distributed one to each elementary, middle and high school. The kids were to decorate one as they wanted, the houses to be auctioned off to benefit the animal shelter.
Any of our kiddos could enter the design contest and there were many entries. The staff chose the winner and 4th hour Civics class began work. We chose this design, hands down! We live 20 minutes from Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse, we are Lincoln Academy, so the kids decided on a patriotic theme.
The delightful sense of humor won us over, and Zach, Matt, Quinton and Alfredo put hours in copying their design and hand painting. Neat, neat project for an Active Citizenship requirement in 9th grade Social Science.

that is SUCH a wonderful idea!
Hi Danielle,
One of the artists painted the inside of the doghouse from the INSIDE. He fit, but I am not sure one of your kids would fit in.
Auction was a big success.
Awesome artwork! Congratulate the artists for their sense of humor.
