Interact Club will host Hounds for Hounds on Tuesday in the freshman cafeteria from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. for $2 per person. The club is partnering Paws and Think to bring 10 to 15 dogs to play with students.
Gabby Seal, club president and sophomore said proceeds go to Paws and Think to teach children to read.
“All of the money goes to a program that helps little kids who can’t read, so they read to the dogs, who aren’t judgmental. It’s a nice stress reliever
right before finals week and AP testing period; so if you want to get rid of some of that stress, come and play with the dogs,” Seal said.
According to Seal, the dogs will be brought in by Paws and Think employees trained in taking care of the dogs. Additionally, students will have toys available to play with the dogs and bowls and treats to feed them. Also, the entire freshman cafeteria is available for this event, which provides ample space for students to play with the dogs.
Michelle Subler, sponsor of Interact Club and social studies teacher, said this service project is aimed to benefit CHS students by bringing them together in a new way.
“I’m really just excited that students are able to just play with dogs on the school campus,” Subler said. “It’s a very inclusive event since pretty much everyone can participate. Playing with dogs relaxes everyone.”
