CHS Class of 2020 senior projects are just about finished, and community members are needed to judge and review portfolios reviewing takes place in April, and judging for presentation day is April 27. The folks at the Nevada Humane Society’s Carson City Animal Shelter, 549 Airport Road, would appreciate it just as much as the pets. Please continue to drop off anything you think would be helpful to care for these animals. I will also hand the donated items collected over to NHS Sunday. I was at the Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corp parking lot of Carson High School to collect donations for the animals.

Friday for people in the Carson City community and beyond to come out and support these homeless pets.

I held a special event day between 3 and 6 p.m. NHS is accepting everything from blankets, preferably ones without stuffing, to simple things like collars and leashes, edible dog treats and toys for dogs and cats. However, adoptions are only part of what is needed. Thankfully, community members adopted more than 57 animals in January and so far this month as well. NHS sent its animal control officer to respond to more than 140 calls about strays in the month of January alone. I decided I would reach out to the Nevada Humane Society and the Carson City Animal Shelter in order to help those animals who do not have a nice home and a family to call their own. Just like all of the other seniors here at the school, I am working on my senior project, a graduation requirement, in order to benefit not only myself but also those animals in the community who need a home. My name is Destiny Hernandez, and I am a senior at Carson High School. Editor’s note: Hernandez, a senior, is in the CHS Advanced Creative Writing class.
