IMS Builders Club hosted a "Paws for a Cause," fundraiser for the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter. The club made homemade dog treats to sell at lunch, along with Scooby snacks, stickers and an opportunity to give their pet a special shout out on the morning announcements. The club raised $125 and was proud to have Deputy Brown from the shelter in WIMS studios to accept the funds, talk about the shelter, and thank the students. Ellie, who is currently up for adoption, also joined and was a hit! Thanks to all who contributed to Paws for a Cause
