Arthur Rann Elementary School in Galloway Township
A shout out and big Thank You to the students, staff, and families of the Arthur Rann Elementary School in Galloway Township!
In a letter to the shelter they wrote: “The students, staff, and families of Arthur Rann Elementary School would like to donate pet supplies to the cats and dogs of Atlantic County. During our “Week of Respect” we learned about respecting ourselves, our community members, our planet, and our animal friends. We asked our students to demonstrate respect by donating supplies to animals that may need extra care and help. Thank you for accepting our donations and helping us show our local animals respect and kindness.”
