Sporting Hill Elementary Serves Veterans

This year our Veterans Day Celebration centers around the idea of “serving” or “service”.  As part of this theme, we want our students to experience what it means to serve someone. Therefore, we have partnered with Dog T.A.G.S (Train. Assist. Guide. Serve.)  Dog T.A.G.S serves veterans in Mechanicsburg and Lehigh Valley. Their mission is “To train, assist, guide and serve veterans who have been diagnosed by a licensed mental healthcare provider with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and/or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) through the operation of a Service Dog Program.” More information can be found on their website: https://www.dogtagsprogram.org/.

So what is our Sporting Hill community going to do to help?  We are going to raise money to donate to this amazing organization.  Dog T.A.G.S. is a volunteer organization; they give their time and experience free of charge.  By giving money, Sporting Hill will help provide for the needs and costs of veterans in this program. We have a schoolwide goal of raising $1000 to help support a beginning Veteran and his/her dog. Throughout the year, we will receive updates and be able to see how our donations help serve others. 

If your family would like to participate in this service project, please donate by November 8, 2019. Thank you for your support.
