Animal Support Business

Mr. Seme's Class

In 2024, two fourth graders, Trixie Bershow and Pepin Gihring, started an animal support business to improve animals' lives in Minneapolis, MN. The fourth graders like to meet up at school and make plans. They research what animals need, and to make the animals happy they collect and make toys. The way they get the money is from doing chores around the house and then donating it to shelters. The fourth graders hope for their business to grow and perhaps even have a real shop someday!

Right now Pepin and Trixie are thinking of helping dogs, and then thinking of helping cats next.
