SINCLAIRVILLE - A total of 38 pets ranging from chickens to dogs arrived at Sinclairville Elementary School recently. This was the result of the idea of four fourth-grade girls.
Allison Ames, Meghan LeBaron, Allissa Morey and Heidi Williams wanted to have the pet show and consulted with school principal John Kwietniewski. He gave the girls permission on the condition they do all the planning themselves.
Planning meant checking with teachers to see if they would participate, checking class schedules for the times that all the fourth graders could participate, deciding what types of animals the students could bring, writing notes to parents, collecting permission slips and making cloth pins for the winners.
