West Essex Middle Schoolers Create Dog Toys for Holiday Pups in Need

Members of the West Essex Middle School Builder’s Club, who volunteer their time to improve their school and community, create dog toys by braiding pieces of old T-shirts together. The toys will benefit the dogs at the Montville Animal Shelter.

The students making the dog toys are pictured here.
