The Nemaha Central fifth graders went to the Brown County Humane Society on Friday, May 5. The Humane Society is located in Hiawatha. The Humane Society takes in stray animals and allows the public to purchase the animals.
The fifth grade students helped donate to the Humane Society by putting on a day at school where students could bring money to wear pajamas to school. The amount raised for the Brown County Humane Society was about $500. Students could also bring in needed supplies for the animals at the shelter.
In return, the fifth grade visited the Humane Society to get an idea of how their donations were being put to use. The fifth grade had a great time while they were there.
Aubrey Wood said, “It was fun seeing all the animals and what the Humane Society does to help them.”
The students also explored the Agricultural Museum in Hiawatha after they left the Humane Society. At the Agricultural Museum, the students learned about how farmers in the 1800s and 1900s farmed and what tools they used to farm. The students were surprised to learn about how hard it was to farm back then and the struggles of farmers.
Landen Stallbaumer said, “I liked it when I was told that the 13 stripes in the American flag were for the 13 original colonies.”
The fifth grade enjoyed the trip to the Brown County Humane Society and the Agricultural Museum. They were proud to help out the animals at the shelter with their donation.
