Kiersten Bowser, a first-grader at Wallace Elementary School in West York Area School District, recently organized a fundraiser to benefit the animals at York County SPCA.
With the help of her classmate, Sidney Cooper, and fifth-grader Holly Parr, a dance routine was developed and practiced at the home of Carol Adams, while the children waited after school for their parents to come home from work.
Olivia Bourinski and Alyssa Bunnell also participated in the dancing.
On a recent Saturday, Kiersten’s home was the stage for a show presented to the dancers’ parents. Proceeds from the show and the sale of snacks totaled $50.36. The money was then donated to the SPCA.
Kiersten’s father, Chad, is an engineer with Buchard Horn. Her mother, Lori Stover, volunteered at the SPCA for several years while attending West York Area schools. She now teaches at Northeastern Senior High School.
Kiersten wants to vounteer at the SPCA when she gets older. She also hopes to play volleyball for West York.
Those wishing to donate to the SPCA may send a check to the York County SPCA, 3159 Susquehanna Trail North, York, PA 17402. To volunteer, call (717) 764-6109.
