The MICDS Upper School Club for Animal Rights and Education (CARE) hosted a movie night for Beasley students on Friday, February 28. Students enjoyed snacks, animal-themed arts and crafts and a viewing of crowd favorite The Secret Life of Pets 2. As part of the student-run event, families generously donated used or new pet supplies and towels or t-shirts. All contributions were donated to St. Louis-area animal shelters.
Head of Lower School Amy Scheer said, « Beasley students enjoyed connecting with the many Upper School student volunteers and those from other CARE groups. They played games and made a shared poster as a group. Many cross-divisional connections were made! »
