Through their Valentine's Day store, the Baseball Plants raised about $152 for charity! As a group they decided to donate $100 to the Coalition for the Homeless and the remaining amount to the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). On our visit to the Coalition for the Homeless, we learned that on an average night, there are over 63,000 homeless people in New York City. That's more people than there are seats in Yankee Stadium! We also learned different ways you can help the homeless population and what resources they have available to them. We were also able to visit ASPCA (right next door)! The Baseball Plants learned about different ways veterinarians help the dogs and cats at the hospital located inside the ASPCA. The students also learned what food items are poisonous to cats and dogs. Ask your student what one of the most poisonous food items is! (Hint: Most humans LOVE it! :) ) The Baseball Plants were respectful and kind visitors on both field trips!
